Almost everyone has a wish, good or bad. But wishes do not always turn out the way you would have expected them to. In most stories, people realize what they had before, and that their wish is not everything they have wanted.
Prompt: A character makes a wish — and it comes true — but not the way they expected. Write the fallout.
One example of an existing movie is from Disney itself: Disenchanted, the sequel to enchanted. She makes a wish that life on earth can be a fairy tale, which comes true. But soon she finds out that the wish came with consequences which she has to undo before midnight, or it will be permanent.
The wish could honestly be anything. Maybe the villain makes a wish to rule the world, but realizes everyone is afraid of them? Maybe the orphaned hero wishes for a family, and gets a family who isn't nice to them? How about a side character who wishes to be the hero, and then realizes how hard it actually is to be the hero? Anything is possible.
