The walk home was an uneventful one. I didn't have anything to do but constantly think about the stone and it's power. It had so much potential, but it could all be so easily ruined by making a stupid wish that I couldn't get out of. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I almost ran headlong into our own front door. Lucky that my legs were used to the walk and knew where to go, otherwise I probably wouldn't have noticed the house at all and just walked off somewhere.
No calls of hello from mum, I guess she was out. Busy day, probably. I made myself a sandwich and sat down to watch TV. As I channel hopped I passed all sorts of shows, and so many ideas flooded into my mind. X-men was on, and I thought about being a superhero. I could have so many powers, but could I get stuck in a weird superhero universe? A workout show was on, entirely presented by hot, sporty women in bikinis. I thought about making them all totally attracted to me, but did I want them following me around all my life? I'd heard Karyn complaining about guys staring and such enough to know that it's not a lot of fun.
Then it hit me. I was so stupid, it was so easy. I could have it all, with no strings attached, and I could get out of anything whenever I wanted.
"I wish I was omnipotent [all powerful]," I said.
... I didn't really notice anything. I looked around and everything seemed about the same. Half-eaten sandwich, TV currently playing QI, everything the same.
"Let's test these powers out," I thought.
I looked at the now basically useless wishing rock.
"Go to hell, and take your unnecessarily binding wishes with you," I said.
And then, at my mere thought, it sizzled for a second, and was replaced by a smoking pile of ashes. Now that was power. I could do anything, know anything and go anywhere in the universe.
"What shall be the first REAL test?" I wondered to myself.
By the way, you don't have to continue this if it's boring after the limitations of the rock are basically taken away. I just put this in because it's what I would do if I could have wishes.
