I really like my English class

Because we do a lot of fun writing. Like this—the prompt was, in essence, you are Aladdin, trapped in the cave with the genie, and must choose a wish. Choose something awesome, or you're not getting out of the cave.

Let me get this straight. I’m trapped in a cavern, alone with my pet monkey and a genie, and I have to, this moment, pick the one thing I want most in this world? And it can’t be anything lame like a million dollars? I have to come up with a creative and unique wish that probably could only be fulfilled by a genie? At least the cave isn’t actively collapsing on me, so my decision time is only limited by how long I can last without food. And Abu, he’s a pretty big monkey, so if worst comes to worst…

That’s it. I know. I want food.

Not just any food, but all food. I want to be able to have any food I want, whenever I want. I am perpetually hungry; either I don’t want to bother preparing food for myself, I don’t want to spend money on food, or I don’t want to spend time eating it. This wish would at least get rid of two of those problems.

Or maybe I could just say that I never want to be hungry again; if I want, I can eat, but only because it tastes good. That way I don’t lose the marvel of a delicious meal, made all the better by the hard work I put into it.

Of course, I would still lose the increased enjoyment of food brought on by hunger. So I guess what I really want is the ability to control my hunger. When I want to be hungry, I’m hungry. When I don’t, I’m not. Okay? Now get me out of this cave.
