OK, this is a game I played once, years ago. You write down a wish and then the next person writes down a way in which that wish is granted, but that the result is bad, followed by their own wish. For example, I might write: "I wish I was taller." The next entry might be... "Granted: You wake up taller one day, but you're no longer allowed on fairground rides. I wish ... " ... followed by another wish, and so on. It's an exercise of your imagination, both for thinking of an interesting wish, and thinking of an interesting and unusual way in which the wish could go wrong  It's probably best if you quote the person you're answering, in case someone else responds in the meantime, which could confuse things. I'll start off: I wish I could slow down time.EDIT: I mentioned this to a colleague of mine. He came back about three hours later with the following link xkcd.com/1086/ (I hope that's not what he was doing for the whole three hours...) |

Ohh this sounds fun!
Ok, so 'I wish I could slow down time.'
You wake up with a special watch that can slow down time, but everytime you use it, you take a month off your life.
The next wish is :
I wish I had a million pounds.

oooo Fun, ' I wish I had a million pounds.' You check your bank account to find you have a million pounds you get back home and find a note that says: "Dear Beth, I gave you a million pounds but in return i have taken all your loved ones for myself, i am rich and nobody loves me so i thought we would trade. Unfortunately they didnt want to come with me so i had them assinated and stuffed so i could still have friends just friends that didnt scream. Kind regards The Monopoly Man." heheh  |

i wish i could turn invisible and then visible at will! GRANTED! Every time you see someone called Will, you kind-of flicker at him, constantly switching between invisible and visible. It's quite embarrassing and you have to go and live in a nunnery to avoid meeting too many men. I wish I could fly |

You find you can fly, but you have to forget all the happiness you've ever felt and are left with only sad memories. I wish I could make all the best foods. |

You wake up one day and discover that you're a chef on par with world famous chefs. You can make the best food imaginable, but any time you eat it you get violently ill, the only food you can consume is applesauce and mashed potatoes. --I wish I could work in Hollywood! |

Haha! I don't even like applesauce  Ok so: You are granted the wish to become the most famous director in Hollywood history, but everytime you try and talk to any actors/actresses, you talk in gobbledygook so it's impossible to get across what you want done! I wish that I could play every instrument in the world. |

I wish that I could play every instrument in the world. Granted: Every instrument in the world is taken from its owner and brought to the UK. Many thousands of buskers and hard-up musicians go without food, having lost their livelihood. The assembled menagerie takes up a space larger than the size of Heathrow Airport (including the car parks) and several hundred families are forced to move out of their family homes to make room. The entire collection would take more than a thousand lifetimes to play, if just a single note was drawn from each instrument. Any time a new instrument is created, it is automatically shipped to the designated dropzone. Other than the lonely notes being played by LimeBirdBeth for all eternity, no more music is ever created. I wish I could breathe underwater. |

I wish I could breathe underwater. You nearly drown while swimming the the pond with your best friends, only to find you can suddenly breathe underwater. You watch your friends drown and try to go to the surface, to find you can no longer breathe air. You are doomed to live in the small pond with the dead bodies of your friends and only have tiny fish for company. I wish I could sew fancy clothes. |

I wish I could breathe underwater. I wish I could sew fancy clothes. Granted: You can sew fancy clothes, but you have to work in a sweatshop for twenty hours a day and you're fed only bread and water. I wish I could run really fast. |

Granted: You can run really fast, but you're unable to walk at normal pace. You can only run everywhere. I wish I could speak every language. |

Granted: You can run really fast, but you're unable to walk at normal pace. You can only run everywhere. I wish I could speak every language. As you say. You can now speak every language, but you can't understand what you're saying. It leads you down bad paths. I wish I could travel in time. |

I wish I could travel in time. Granted: A mysterious stranger sells you a wrist watch that he says allows you to travel through time. However, when you try and use the watch, you realise you can only travel forward in time... at a rate of one second per second... I wish I could walk through walls. |
