SET 0004 / FIVE TO CONSIDER

Two ways to go.

Five choices. The crowd waits until the end.

1. 1. Gain the ability to understand every language spoken by animals, but every time a dog hears you tell a lie, you must personally fetch it a stick from the nearest continent. or Be able to instantly fix any broken object just by apologizing to it sincerely, but every object you repair permanently forgets one childhood memory of yours.
2. 2. Your houseplants will always thrive under your care and bloom on command, but they will also gossip about you to the neighbors in a voice only the neighbors' cats can hear. or Never again lose a single sock, umbrella, or glove, but every item you have ever lost will show up at your front door at 3 a.m. demanding to be reunited with its original owner.
3. 3. Your handwriting becomes so beautiful that calligraphers weep and tourists photograph your grocery lists, but you can only write in the language of the last person you insulted. or You can taste the emotions of anyone who cooks for you, making every meal a perfect experience, but you must eat the exact feelings of your last cook's ex-spouse every Tuesday.
4. 4. Win every raffle, lottery, and coin toss you ever enter for the rest of your life, but the prize is always one extra thumb on your non-dominant hand. or Your voice gains the power to make any crowd fall perfectly in sync with your rhythm, but whenever a crowd dances, one random bystander permanently swaps birthdays with you.
5. 5. Every clock you touch runs exactly as you wish, letting you bend a single afternoon into a week, but every hour you gain is taken from the lifespan of the nearest pigeon. or You can summon any book you have ever wanted to read, arriving instantly on your desk, but each book's ending will be rewritten to include you as a minor, unpaid character.
