SET 0010 / 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 you hear a bird sing, you must immediately repeat its entire song aloud, in its exact voice, for the rest of your life. or Your memories of your childhood become perfectly vivid and reliable, but you can only recall them while standing on one foot in a bathtub full of cold lemonade.
  2. 2. Your houseplants will never die and will always thrive under your care, but they will all slowly grow to look exactly like your late grandfather, who will silently disapprove of your life choices from the windowsill. or You will never again lose a sock, a set of keys, or a TV remote, but every object you misplace will reappear in the pocket of a stranger who will be asked to return it to you personally, in person, while wearing a top hat.
  3. 3. You become the most persuasive speaker in history and no one can ever refuse your requests, but you can only speak in rhyming couplets, and every sentence must include the word 'pickle' or a nearby stranger's ear will fall off. or You can instantly master any musical instrument you touch, but your fingers will forever play only the theme from a 1980s cooking show whenever you are nervous, which is always.
  4. 4. You are guaranteed to win the lottery exactly once, but the winning numbers will be revealed to a rival pigeon-racing syndicate, which will then spend the rest of your life sending you handwritten apology letters. or Your dreams become a shared public broadcast, viewable by anyone who wears a specific hat, but you must narrate them aloud in a Shakespearean accent every morning at breakfast for the rest of your days.
  5. 5. You can teleport anywhere on Earth instantly, but you must first leave a sincere, handwritten thank-you note to the moon, and if the moon ever fails to acknowledge receipt, you lose the ability to tell the difference between soup and bathwater. or You will never age a single day, but every time you blink, a small, unsolicited opinion about your posture will appear floating above your head for everyone else to read, and it cannot be dismissed.
