Week 10 - Mystery Adaption
The story revolves around the mysterious identity of a famed "wish granter." Rumor has it that this person will grant you a single wish if you can figure out their identity. Meet Rory Blake, a young man who's one wish is to be reunited with his high school girlfriend (relive the flory days and all that). On the way he meets many others on the lookout for the wish granter, including a struggling artist named Lloyd, a stressed business woman named Clara, a lonely little girl named Jillian, a homeless man named Harold, and a boy named Ted looking for "the meaning of life". But the wish granter can be anyone...
The search leads Rory through the hopes of each of these characters:
Lloyd paints portraits of the people closest to him, but he's contracted an illness that prevents him from painting. He's struggling to find another medium, as well as motivation.
Clara is the breadwinner of her family, but she really just wants to retire comfortably with her stay-at-home husband and kids. Sadly, her financial situation keeps her from achieving this goal.
Jillian wants nothing more than attention, since she doesn't get any from her widowed, hard-working father. She really wishes for company she can rely on.
Harold doesn't want anything specific, just a place to call home. He wants to stop wandering from town to town, and instead pick a place to stay and start over.
Ted's an orphan, and he's having trouble coping. He wants to understand how other people cope with their issues, and then maybe he too can do the same.
Rory runs into several possible characters that could be the wish granter. Mob boss Montgomery is always granting favors to those who are loyal. Doctor Evan Green is known for taking on any medical challenge, with a high enough success rate to be labeled a miracle worker. Local toy store owner Merry Flannigan has been around for years, cheering up souls for as long as anyone can remember. Each provides miracles in their own way, but are any of them capable of granting any wish?
Eventually on the path that leads towards Doctor Green, Rory runs into Ted, where he reveals his identity as a the inheritor of a large fortune and the actual wish granter. Rory's journey helps him realize he doesn't need to relive the past, coming to realize he doesn't really need a wish to move on with his life.
