ninanevermoreToday at the stop light, I was alone, as if every other driver in the world had slept in today. I was worried that maybe today was a holiday and I didn't need to be going to work at all, but the radio shows all said that it was a Thursday and were giving standard traffic reports ("There's a stall out on the North freeway that is backing things up to..."), so I know it was just me.
I have been wanting some time to myself of late, and I realized that I may have been wishing too hard to be alone. Normally, you can wish as hard as you want, and not have to worry. But I made my wish at THE stop light, where things are bound to get strange. Everyone else was gone.
I didn't exactly feel lonely, but I did realize there could be negative implications to having all other humanity disappear within a certain radius of me, so I wished them all back, and there they were, taking up space on the road and causing me a headache. I tried making a 3rd wish for lots and lots of money, but it turns out that this life is not a fairytale, and you don't necessarily get three wishes. At this stop light, it was a limited-time offer, two wishes per customer deal, and I had blown it on the first wish and then a wish to unwish the first wish.
Damn.
