If a genie magically appeared, what would you wish for? (Just remember, no wishing for more wishes!)
The “rules” don’t say so, but I’m going to guess all the big ones are out of order too. World peace, an cure for all cancers, an end to homelessness. I’m afraid those would be out of an individual genie’s range of powers.
How about proper medical treatment for all veterans. Or more funding for public libraries. Ending child abuse. Still too big?
Let’s get personal. I have a number of family members with major medical conditions. I’d wish for the ability to heal people. Let’s say I could only heal one person a day. If I started with my family, who would blame me? Then I’d move on to friends.
The trouble would be hiding my gift. If word got out, can you imagine the chaos? I’d never be able to go out in public without people accosting me, demanding I cure their loved one. I could charge extravagant amounts of money and hire security guards, but that wouldn’t make me happy. If I lived like a hermit, my ability would be wasted.
And how would I chose the one a day? My heart would be in curing children. But how could I cure a child and not cure the parents if they needed it?
So that’s my quandary. Maybe it would be easier to ask for a large sum of money. Millions of dollars. That way I could spread it out among many causes or give a lot to just one organization that was doing good work.
What would you wish for? You can tell us in the comments. In the meantime, I’m going to go see what the other authors have to say.
