wishmaker

I make a lot of wishes. On eyelashes, stars, magic 8 balls, flowers, situations. I make multiple wishes a day. Sometimes they are really serious concerning life goals. More often I wish things for other people (health, good luck, clarity, success). Sometimes I wish for frivolous things like tator tots or eye contact. Making a wish is serious business because you need to be careful what you wish for. You need to make it really specific or else it will just be a waste. The wishgranter is a cross between a lawyer and a computer. The wishgranter requires precise language and refuses to make assumptions. A wish should have a timeline associated with it. You need a lot of adjectives. You don't want to wish for someone to have a long life. You want them to have a long, health, happy, fulfilling life. You don't just wish for someone to make the right decision. You want them to come to a decision within the next two weeks that will result in long-term happiness. An ambiguous wish is just wasted, floating away in wishworld.
