Short Story: 
 
 The man thought initially that he should consider his wishes carefully; but being an impulsive man he decides to just go for it all at once. Now because the man has a happy family and a great life it would follow that the man has decent morals. He wishes first that he will be able to provide for his family without working another day in his life. He wishes secondly that he have enough money to supply his family with all their wants and desires for the rest of their lives. His third and final wish is that his wife be sexually satisfied. So everything goes great; bing, bang, bam, and life seems perfect for this man and his family. But then everything goes down hill. His wife leaves him for a man who she found to be far more seductive and entertaining in the bedroom. She divorces him and takes all his money and gets the kids in the settlement as well. Since the man's ex-wife is now rich and with a man she `` ca n't resist'' the kids are constantly bought distractions and sent classes to keep them busy while `` mommy'' has fun time. Eventually the kids grow up, and without much parenting, become increasingly snobbish little assholes. They also grow increasingly disconnected from their father whom they rarely see because their mother pays for them to do things that are sooo much more interesting. The man is left with nothing to do and nowhere to go because he wished that his family be provided for without him having to work another day in his life. He finally comes to terms with himself that life is no longer worth living and he can not take it anymore after ten years of constant anguish and sorrow. He decides to end his empty life one sad morning when his daughter leaves for boarding school without saying good bye to him.
