| The Greatest Accident (Rhiannon's Epilogue, Part 1) |

You only get one wish.
Not something useful,
Nothing you'd think to ask for
If you had time to weigh it,
Like money to pay the rent and buy the groceries,
A winning lottery ticket,
Health for your aging cat or a
Little bit of perspective.
Not protection for yourself, either,
A life well-lived, free of earth-shattering screw-ups
Or bad decisions or car accidents.
Not even a long, happy marriage.
Kids and a yard and a mortgage payment.
You want those things,
But they're too easy, yeah?
They're the wishes of your conscious mind.
The simple ones.
( Here's a Hint )
