Wishes

A certain, random someone had stumbled across a very old thread, hidden away in a forum.

Its name?

"Corrupt the Wish."

He looked through it. The last "wish" to be corrupted was by someone with the name of "He Plays." He said:

"I wish this thread was a story."

And the wish was still there, waiting.

That random person thought this thread was interesting. There hasn't been a game thread in months, and here was one right in front of him.

He typed in something. He didn't bother corrupting He Plays' wish, because he was lazy like that. He said, "I wish to be reborn as a cat."

While-let's call him B, shall we?- waited, he thought of stuff to write. He edited a few stories, then he left his computer to go to sleep. B was never seen again.

Underneath his wish, was a reply.

"Granted, but you retain all your memories and become immensely bored." No one knows who replied. He was a Fandom user, but his IP could not be found.

We'll go back to the cat guy in a minute.

People saw this on "Recent Activity". The game spread like wildfire, making its way across the internet through links and screenshots. It was an internet sensation. Everyone was wishing for things they wanted, but they didn't read the name of the game.

Corrupt the Wish.

"I wish that I get rich!" One would say.

"Granted, but the money you get was actually lost by an American crime syndicate. They're after you, now."

"I wish my dog lives longer!" Another would wish.

"Granted, but to attain that life, your dog takes yours."

They all disappeared from the internet without a trace. Every single person who wished.

One day, an account by the name of "CatCat2187" showed up. Familiar?

He claimed that he was B. His terrible grammar and capitalization errors indicated that he didn't have opposable thumbs. Still, everyone ignored him.

He raged, until he suddenly stopped his activity. His last blog post said that he was going to a vet.

One wish, against all ther other wishes, stood out.

"i wish i lived in minecraft."

"Granted, but you lose your sight since your brain cannot process the in-game graphics."

Herobrine, the white-eyed legend, was first seen around this time.

Now, you might be asking: why am I telling you this? It's not like you needed to know; but I told you anyways.

You wished for it.
