Write a letter to Santa, a fairy godmother, a genie in the bottle, God, or anyone or anything you believe that has the power to grant this wish.

There's the rub. I don't believe in any of those things. When I was a boy I went to Gotham cathedral with my parents and the sense of somber dignity and ceremony used to fascinate me. But it's been a long time since I've been there, the last time I went I was eight.

And it seems pointless to ask Santa for anything, Christmas is over and I no more believe in a jolly fat man in a red suit than I do God.

And I know even if I asked for what I really wanted it wouldn't be given to me. Not because I'm any less deserving than anyone else or that I dont' want it with all my heart but because it happened and there's no undoing it. Paradox itself defends the events as they unfold and since the events create you you cannot undo the events in question.

And no Harry that's not something the monks taught me.

So I'm not asking for anything. I'll make sure anything I want done I'll take care of myself.
