Wishes Can Be Fatal

Whenever Nell Atterwood, now in a nursing home, makes a copy of her original needlepoint portrait of her former house, certain items omitted from the copy, including a maple tree and a Pekinese dog, are unexplainably destroyed. When she portrays her son’s second, young and beautiful wife, whom she despises, as an invalid with a cane, her relatives begin to wonder how strong her powers really are.
