The 13th Notification
The 13th Notification You only get twelve. The thirteenth means you're next.

"Dream Count."
Dream Count Every wish has a cost, and she’s keeping score. The stars whispered numbers in her sleep. Eris woke with them stitched behind her eyelids—1,845. They glowed faintly even as she blinked against the dark. In her hand, the Dream Count ledger pulsed, its spine warm as breath, its pages shifting softly like restless sighs. Each number in it told a story, a dream bought with hope, and bartered against time. And every one of them came with a cost.
