[WiZ] Ill Met (OAATP)

Postby WiZ » Sun May 16, 2021 9:57 pm

A young man is delighted to receive a series of requests to meet with various strangers. Each of these strangers dies shortly after they meet. Explain.

Not based on any one specific indicent. Caveat earlispoilor. OAATP Rules apply.

Is this a dream fulfillment/last request sort of thing?

Do all the strangers suffer from the same illness?

Is this a dream fulfillment/last request sort of thing? *sigh*

***** SPOILER *****

He was an up-and-coming celebrity. Terminally ill children were requesting to meet him through the Make A Wish foundation. He was touched, and took this as a sign of his rising stardom.


Congratulations, GalFisk, on the solution, and thank you everyone for playing. I think this sounded more difficult in my head :P

Also, probably shouldn't have used 'ill' in the title.
