"I wish that boys and girls switched genitals" Jon said.

Nothing happened, of course, since Zoe had the stone at the moment.

Suddenly, Jon pressed a tile on the shower wall. A panel opened up and Jon pulled out a revolver. He held the gun in both hands, aiming it at Zoe.

"You've got to be kidding," said Zoe.

"I'm not sure why this is there," said Jon, "and I don't remember putting it there, but somehow I instinctively reached for it. Give me that stone or I kill you, take the stone, and wish you back to life. Maybe."

"Wait! Wait!" said Zoe. "I want to know what's going on!"

"Go ahead," said Jon. "Make your wish. But be careful." He shook the gun.

"I wish that the two of us knew why Jon suddenly had a gun! Oh, shit...."

Zoe had created a world (at least within the wish range) where the difference between the sexes was even bigger than it was in the normal world. Men were even weaker than women used to be, and women were even stronger than men used to be. But the weaker one sex was, the more acceptable it became for them to have a means of defending themselves that didn't depend on being strong. Zoe and her mother had made one sex so weak that it became acceptable for them to carry weapons just to make things more equal.

"Now toss over the stone." Zoe did, and then lunged at Jon. Jon shot her three times; he was physically weak, but dextrous.

Zoe landed on top of Jon, but her grip was weak, and several seconds later, she collapsed--possibly unconscious, possibly dead--and Jon rolled out from under her and picked up the stone. "I wish that Zoe was alive and well but couldn't move until I leave this room! I wish that Zoe could never touch or use the stone! I wish I knew all the wishes made on this stone today!"

"You bitch," said Zoe.

"I'm not a bitch," said Jon. "I'm not even a girl. But do you realize what kind of wish that was? Violating everyone's body... Just because it's so easy to do it and just because you can tell yourself you're not touching anyone doesn't mean it isn't seriously wrong. It's almost like a rape... a person's body is a very intimate thing. Now, shut up."

"I wish that since Mom didn't say how girly or how masculine people would become, they would just become as much as girls and guys were before the wish, instead of becoming exaggerated." Not only did Jon's hips shrink that to what used to be a normal girl's, the gun somehow vanished.

"I wish that boys and girls switched genitals," Jon said, as he felt his genitals become female.

"Now I wish the former boys were girls and the former girls were boys." Jon said.

Nothing happened. The combination of the previous wishes had already turned all former boys into girls and all former girls into boys.

"Jenna, breakfast is ready," Jon, no Jenna's mom, no, dad said.
