Everybody gets one wish: What's yours?

Well, it’s out on DVD. The only downside I see is the lack of depth of characterization we saw in the tv series, but what are ya gonna do?

I wish that my wife was healthy enough to get a paying job. The downside would be that I would have to do more cleaning around the house.

I would like U.S. $50,000,000 (adjusted to inflation in the wishiverse) free, clear, legal and post any tax. I wish for most (80-90%) to be invested in a variety of income-producing AAA investments, with the remainder of my portfolio invested for future capital gains to offset inflation.

The power to heal, at will, at a distance, without any ill affects to any person that is living, has lived or will live at some point in the future, myself included. The power would make cure of diseases of any kind and injuries of any sort possible without the necessity to reveal who is causing these changes. It would not include the power to raise someone from the dead. It could be administered individually or with a "blanket’ effect as in “All the children in the Shriner’s Hospital are free of disease, injury and the disfigurements resulting from injuries.”

Do you mean “Serenity”? Cause “Seredipity” is on DVD too, but I don’t think it was a TV show.

I’d wish for the ability to read and control other people’s minds through telepathy. That way, I can just take what I want from everyone else’s wishes. I know, I’m a bit evil …

[Minor Hijack] Yes, it was a TV series first, though the TV show was called Firefly. Ran a single season, then cancelled. You can get the DVD box set on Amazon. Great series, too bad it was cancelled so soon. [/Minor Hijack]

My wish : “I wish for whatever I would wish for, if I knew all the consequences of this wish.” I have no idea what I’d get; maybe nothing; but at least I wouldn’t get hurt.

Not all. recall one story where the Devil would rule hell until one person made the “Ultimate Wish”, which he thought would never happen. Then :

“I wish that with no change in myself, I become the poorest, sickest, stupidest, lonliest, most miserable person on Earth.”

The Devil screamed.

“I wish that noone can use their wish to cause harm to others”

sideburns.

Actually, if you think about it, even if my wish for serendipity got me only a DVD, the downsides are really minor compared to some others! I mean, hey, I got a free DVD, right?

Lissa that’s very selfish of you!!

Bippy, meet Jack Noone. Go get’em, Jack.

My wish is for world peace. If I get a second wish, it would be to be crowned Miss America.

Author, please? That sounds interesting.

I’d wish for God to appear to every person on the planet simultaneously and prove his existence while clarifying the whole meaning of life/what happens after you die/any other applicable rules. That way we could all be on the same page. If God does not exist, then my wish is to abolish all religion.

I really like that one. Even if you’d end up at the bottom of this new order, what a world it would be.

And to work with animals and children?

Why don’t you just put a bullet in me now. Forcing me not to be mean to anyone would be mean to me.

Yes. And did I tell you I can twirl the baton??

You would not be saying that if you’d actually watched the “free” movie you received. ::shudder::

I wish i had those two hours of my life back.

I don’t recall, but I believe it one of the short stories from *Deals with the Devil. * And if I’m wrong it’s a good book anyway. :slight_smile:

I wish I had a shiny quarter.

Can’t wait to see how that gets twisted. :wink:
