When I got home, my mother had the TV on. "Look at this!" she said.
It was the local evening news. There was video of the woman I had made naked. It was showing her in almost
all her glory, with the good stuff pixelated over.
"This video was taken by a camera phone earlier today," said a female newswoman's voice. "Several witnesses
say she was walking down the street, when her clothes suddenly vanished! A few minutes later, THIS happened!"
And the camera showed the woman's transformation into a pigeon. Then, the reporter appeared, at the site,
several people surrounding her. I noticed, in the corner of the screen, was word "LIVE."
"The natural impulse is to regard this as a hoax, some sort of special effect. But the people around here

I muttered a new wish. The reporter got a strange look on her face. She suddenly expanded, great amounts of
fat appearing on her body, which darkened to a grayish-brown. Her face enlarged, and she suddenly fell to all

"My God," whispered my mother. "What's happening?"
