The wishing note, being carried by the wind, flew across the school campus and landed at the feet of a nerd sitting near a tree and reading one of his comic books. In the previous reality, this boy would have been a scrawny nothing, but in this new reality, he was muscular. But not as muscular as the jocks and the other alpha males. Oh, how he longed to be an alpha male. To be loved and worshiped by every other male in the school. But nothing like that would ever happen, not to a nerd like him.
Seeing the note, Bernard grabbed it up, thinking it might have been a flier, but it was just a blank piece of paper. He was about to toss it away, but paused when he saw the most incredible thing. Words began to appear on the sheet of paper, out of nowhere! After all the words appeared, Bernard read what was written ...
<i>Imagine that you can change something about your life. Anything, no matter how large or small, can be changed. It can have something to do with your body, or people you know, or the world around you. What's more, you will be the only one who is not oblivious to the change. The world and everyone in it will exist as if what's been changed has always been that way.
Write your wish below, then sit back and enjoy. Feel free to make as detailed a wish as you want. If you aren't satisfied with your wish, you may rip up this paper to undo the change and return your life to the way it was before. You are granted only this one wish, so wish carefully.</i>
Bernard wasn't sure what think. But he did just witness a bunch of words appear out of nowhere, like magic. If that could happen, maybe a wish could come true too.
Thinking about what he wanted more than anything else, Bernard began to write ...
I wish I was the top alpha in the school.
It was short and simple. But that was what he had always wanted. (Unfortunately, he forgot to specify that he wanted to be the top alpha male in school. Would the wish be granted in a way that was unintended?)
He waited for about fifteen seconds, waiting for something to happen, but nothing did. And after wondering if maybe this was all too good to be true, something did happen.
