mc5 - Ruin a Wish

Genies are known for their trickery in which they will technically grant a wish but then there are consequences to that wish being granted. A classic example is that somebody will wish for a million dollars, but then we find out the million dollars is stolen from banks.

So, let's take a turn at being those tricky genies, in a way - because we have the internet and imagination (yeah, the wishes, consquences and conditions can get VERY SILLY)!

The beginning poster posts a wish. The person that posts under it grants the wish, but they put in the part that isn't wanted. That person then also puts their own wish and the game continues.

It might look something like this.

Pen:

I wish I had a million dollars.

Simons Mith:

Granted, but the million dollars is stolen from banks.

I wish I never had to pay another utility bill.

Rak:

Granted, but now you live on a boat with pirates.

I wish I had eyes in the back of my head.

And on it goes . . .

So, I'll start with my wish. I wish that I would never get too cold, no matter the temperature.

For that to happen it would have to have some substance.

I wish it would stop bloody raining.

Three days and three nights should do it. For behold the prophesy of Layamon:

"In the same time here came a strange token, such as before never came, nor never hitherto since. From heaven here came a marvellous flood; three days it rained blood, three days and three nights. That was exceeding great harm! When the rain was gone, here came another token anon. Here came black flies, and flew in men's eyes; in their mouth, in their nose, their lives went all to destruction; such multitude of flies here was that they ate the corn and the grass. Woe was all the folk that dwelt in the land! Thereafter came such a mortality that few here remained alive."

Better stockpile bug spray and food while you can.

I wish this rash would go away.

CdM

See. Wait long enough and it vanishes of its own accord. And it was probably nothing. Probably.

I wish I could remember where I left my keys.

You left them on the path next to the car, when you bent down to check if there was a cause of that noise you were hearing. They're not there now. But I will bring them back to you tomorrow, once I have made copies.

I wish I could get to sleep earlier.

Wish granted, to the fullest extent possible - you are now extremely sleepy a full 23 hours and 59 minutes and 59 seconds sooner than previously. Sleep tight!

I wish all the chocolates were soft centres.
