We sat in silence for a few moments and then I saw Mark raising his magic ring-clad finger up, pointing to the ceiling. He looked quite silly that way, but he must have felt more powerful or something. He felt like a great wizard casting spells. The thing was he was almost one.
"I wish that always everything within the ring's range will have the conditions of the wishes applied to it, even the worldwide ones. That means that even things like the TV signals are going to change upon entering the zone. Even better!

The TV image went static for a moment and then changed to show a male news anchor announcing 'breaking' news: for some unknown reasons all the women lost control over their bladders for one brief moment. That was enough however to already cause some accidents and lot of panic.
"That was a clever one." I admitted "I would have never thought about playing it this way. I think you should be more careful though..."

That way we won't have to worry about the reality of our choice be ever taken away from us by some stupid accident."

"You know Josh, I don't really like the panic this whole pants-wetting thingy caused. Let's fix it:"
"I wish that people won't panic anymore because what happened is completely normal because..."
