Aidenmorningstar, was that your story?

If we can get confirmation from one other person I say we move this to Possibly Solved...

The OP deleted his or her post. So if we're absolutely positive this is the correct story, we can call this Solved. Otherwise it's Now We'll Never Know.

Basically I remember what the OP wrote - a world where wishes work, and everyone is happy until one person makes a foolish wish and suffers for it; that person then wishes that wishes don't work - leading to our world...

Andy, did you read the story? If you read it and can confirm everything matches, we'll call this solved.
