Your name is Eric, and your a fairly typical teenage American boy. You're in your room surfing the net one night, when suddenly, you're blinded by a bright flash of light and flung out of your chair and across the room as an incredible force hits you. Slowly, your vision clears, and you begin to pick yourself up off the floor, only to freeze in your tracks at the sight before you. Standing in your room is a man at least eight feet tall, incredibly muscular with pure white hair and beard, and eyes filled with stars bathed in a brilliant golden radiance.
"Who-who are you? Are you like, God or something?" you stammer nervously, amazed by the sight before you, but frightened by it as well, being unsure of the beings intentions towards you.
In answer to your question, the being intones in a voice like thunder "Not as you humans understand the concept, but it is as close to the truth as your feeble minds are capable of comprehending. I am Alkazar the All Powerful. I have watched the formation of galaxy's, seen countless stars be born, grow old, and die, their last ebbs of energy bleeding out into the cosmos. I have been watching you as well Eric Johnson, and I have chosen to grant you one wish. Anything you desire is within my power to grant, but be aware that your wish will affect not just yourself, but rather, the entire human race, every man, woman, and child, both born and those yet to be born, onwards to the ends of time."
"Anything I want, seriously?! And whatever I wish for will affect everyone?" you exclaim, unable to believe that this is really happening, certain that you must be dreaming, as you know something like this could never happen in real life. With that in mind, you decide that since this IS a dream, it won't hurt for you to ask for the fulfillment of one of your more bizarre and perverted fantasies.
"It shall."
The mighty figment of your imagination rumbled, the sheer presence of the being causing you to wonder briefly if maybe this really wasn't a dream after all, and that maybe you should be more cautious about what sort of wish you decided to make, or whether you should make one at all for that matter, but you quickly dismissed the notion.
You smiled from ear to ear at the beings statement, as it's exactly what you wanted to hear. "Alright Alkazar, I think I've got my wish all figured out now, so listen up. What I want is for every person on the planet to gain the ability to remove any part of their bodies at will easily and without harm, and once there detached, I want them to be able to reattach them, either in the same spot, or anywhere else on their bodies or anyone elses for that matter, with no limit to the number of parts any one person can have attached at any given time. I also want anyone to be able to regenerate any part they loose for whatever reason, that is, if they want to, as well as be able to transfer their memories and consciousness to any attached body part so that they can become headless, just a pair of legs, or whatever, and since people can regenerate lost parts and swap parts around so easy, I want people to be able to buy copies of other peoples body parts on the open market. You got all that Alkazar?"
"This is your wish?" the being intones.
"Yep, that's what I wish for, now make it happen already." you reply, already thinking of all the fun you're going to have with this dream. If it is a dream that is, you're still not sure. In that moment though, you decide it doesn't matter, in fact, if it is real, that should make things even more fun!
Very well, IT SHALL BE DONE! the being intones, and with a second blinding flash of light, he's gone, as wave of indescribable power goes rushing out from the point where he was standing, flowing out in all directions, and as you feel it wash over you, you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that THIS IS NOT A DREAM! and that the wish you've just made may well have had far greater consequences for the world than you ever could have imagined.
"Oh well, what's done is done, now it's time to have fun with this!" you exclaim, deciding to test out these new detachment powers you've given everyone by_______________?
