Coles One Wish: Some wishes open door, One door opens you at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON

What would you choose if you were given one wish?
Beside the Sigatoka River in Fiji, a strange package is waiting to be found. Inside is an old metal-bound book offering a single impossible choice.
Twelve doors appear.
Money. Fame. Beauty. Success. Power. Love. Approval. Control. Happiness. Health. Perfection. Immortality.
Each seems to offer something worth wanting. But every wish must obey four rules: other people remain free, consequences remain, reality remains—and there is still only one choice.
As the narrator tests each door against ordinary life, memories and uncomfortable questions begin to change what the wishes mean. Then another door appears—one that does not open toward another possibility, but inward.
What begins as a mysterious fable gradually becomes an exploration of desire, control, attachment, uncertainty and the hidden guarantees people sometimes ask their wishes to provide.
Blending story, lived observation, dry humour and practical reflection, ONE WISH asks a deceptively simple question: not only what do you want, but what are you asking that desire to fix, prove, prevent or guarantee?
The story eventually returns to the river, but the questions continue through a practical set of maps and tools built around Clean Agency: choosing and acting without taking ownership of another person's freedom.
ONE WISH is not a book about escaping life.
It is about learning to choose while reality, consequences, other people—and tomorrow—remain in the room.
