I was out for a walk one day in a rather deserted natural area. I literally stumbled across the old bottle. What the heck, I thought as I gave it a rub, you only live once.
"You only get one wish," the genie said. "And it can't be a wish that applies only to you."
I took out a pen and paper from my backpack and carefully wrote down my wish.
"So reverse the US back to March 1, 2009, and the rest of the world to March 1, 2013, but have everyone keep their knowledge of what will happen in the future?"
"Yes."
"Interesting wish. Done."
He snapped his fingers.

On March 2, 2009, it was announced that the US...
[What's that? You want me to skip the boring stuff? I'll just say things improved a lot. Fast forwarding...]
On March 2, 2013, Russian oligarchs arranged for...
[Oh, you want me to skip this part entirely? Very well. Let's again just say that things improved a lot. Moving on...]
And last but not least, in October of 2019, the live animal market in Wuhan, China, was permanently shut down by the Chinese government. A global plague was thus prevented.
And what changes did I myself make, you ask?
Well, I went and applied for the job I always wanted, instead of being a wimp and thinking I didn't have a chance. I got the job and started a solid, not spectacular, career. I saved up enough money so that when the woman I'd been crushing on for 20 years was kicked out of her house by her cheating partner -- a thing I knew would happen in mid-2022 -- I could take her in. (She knew it too, of course, but hoped that by being a more subservient woman the second go-round, she'd keep him from straying. That's not how these things work.)
And sure enough, Trixie posted a desperate message on social media in late July of 2022. This time, I was able to message her that I had a place for her. Rather than wring my hands in frustration, I could actually do something. I transferred her $500 so she could drive across four states and pay for a hotel room en route.
She arrived on a Friday evening. I gave her a big smile and helped her get her things out of the car.
"Thanks, Keith."
"I'm just glad I could help, Trixie."
I stashed her stuff in the spare bedroom while I admired her body. Trixie was the very definition of "BBW". Her curves had curves stacked on top of them. Her ass was the size of a dishwasher, to borrow a phrase coined by Jason Woolley. Huge tits, too -- G-cups, she informed me as I stared thirstily at them. Wavy blonde shoulder-length hair, and about five feet tall. (I'm trim, toned, with all my hair, both face and body, permanently removed and a shaved head -- when I used to go clubbing in my younger days, I would oil up and wear a shirt I would leave unbuttoned. It attracted a certain type of girl into my bed. It also looked really good when I would go to the beach in the summer. And I'm six-foot-three, so Trixie's head would naturally find a place on my chest when we snuggled -- at least that was the plan.)
I told her the hall bathroom was hers to use. The master bedroom, where I slept, had its own bathroom. She thanked me and gave me a hug. I was glad to hold her. My hands roamed down to her rear and I gave her butt a grope.
Trixie giggled. "You must think I'm pretty."
"Not at all," I replied, "Pretty means someone who has a nice face but no good features below the neck. I think every inch of you from your toes all the way up to the top of your head is gorgeous." I gave her butt another squeeze. "Of course, certain features are *particularly* attractive."
She giggled again. "My ex didn't think so. That's why he cheated. He said my ass was too big and I had a couple too many spare tires."
