Day 8- You have a gift card with infinite money on it



The day starts out like no other- roll out of bed, turn on the coffee maker, and go check the mail at the end of the street. Sifting through it, you read off the contents- "Bill, bill, spam, bill, letter from grandma, bill.... manila envelope?" On the front in sloppy cursive is your last name. Confused, you walk back inside with the envelope in your hands and pick up your cup of coffee, add some cream and sugar, and then sit down in the breakfast nook to inspect the puzzling envelope. You've thought of what it could be... but nothing fits. Finally, you break the seal and open it up to find a little gift card holder, and inside is a gift card with a big gold infinity sign on it. In the cardboard holder is a note saying "Go nuts" and the amount on the card; there is no amount, it is simply infinite.

At the bottom, in fine print, is a phone number.

Baffled, you call the number and end up with a robotic-sounding message saying that you are of executive power and have received this card for an important reason. But what is the reason? It's impossible for it to have been a mistake because it had your last name on it, and none of your three siblings had ever done anything of vast significance. You conclude that it must be a joke.

Finally, later that morning you get in the car to go to the grocery store and the card pops into your mind- now was the time to prove whether or not it was a joke, so you run back inside to grab the card and head off to the store.

When the time comes to check out you use the card, and tell the cashier that you got it in the mail and you're not sure if it really has anything on it. She tells you to swipe the card and it pays for the entire transaction.

***10 YEARS LATER***

You pull the card out to pay without even thinking, the card that has saved your life over the past ten years, and then start to ponder over something- the thought hasn't even crossed your mind in all this time what the origin of this card is.

Thats the exact moment when someone comes up to you, points at the card, and says, "So you got the card I sent you?"

Day 7- You are now the official CEO of The Walt Disney Company




























It's the new year- this means new big ideas for The Walt Disney Company. 2026 brought many great things to Disney, including its own airlines and even a continent, but 2027 would truly be the year for Disney- because I, as the chairman, plan to buy the moon. We would make Mickey's head out of craters, and so every night when the people of earth would go to bed, they'd be reminded of the booming business and outer space itself would thus be the biggest and the best marketing campaign in the history of the world. At the moment, though, as I sat as my desk in The Happiest Oval Office on earth, I contemplating buying a reservation on Mars... I just wanted to do something that would make my great, great, great, great, great grandfather happy; and as the first female chairman of Disney, I just wanted to do something that would make the world proud- something to prove that women can do great things, too. After contemplating this for a bit, I looked up to see my two twin girls sitting on the ground staring up at the TV screen above where I'd put on the original animated Cinderella to keep their toddler minds entertained. They were as happy as ever, and that was how I planned their entire lives to be.

Suddenly, an alarm went off- I immediately recognized it as alarm D. This was our last alarm and had never been used before, and when we created it we didn't even think it was practical, but now the time had come. Someone breached the system.

Day 5- You have all the power in the world over the internet



*Sorry for not posting the past three days, we had a few feet of snow and a power outage as well as being snowed into our own house*

It's Sunday. I roll out of bed and trudge downstairs to my laptop, which sits waiting for me- this laptop is the door to everything I have power over. I instantly open Nike and a few other shopping websites and pick out a few things, then hack their servers to have these items delivered to my door for free with overnight shipping and it doesn't cost me a dime. I then add a few million followers to my Twitter account, and then a couple million followers to my Instagram; then, I remember to ship a few Kylie Lip Kits to my house (again, for free- who can afford it anyway?). I hop over to YouTube and access YouTube Red, watch a few videos, and make every video on my channel go viral. I think to myself, ah, power feels nice. But not as nice as what I imagine it would feel like to actually be able to leave my home...

Day 1- You can talk to trees and you use this power for evil



I walk through the woods, waving to the many oaks surrounding me- until I get to the very end of the winding trail, where there lies a towering pine with long branches hanging over and providing shade to the lush underbrush. I go up and whisper quietly to the pine, "Fall- tomorrow. Drop. You need to. There's no other option,". Little did this forest know that the next day, a field trip of children would be visiting these woods to study the trees; the trees that would wipe them out for good.
