The young man (Tony) who's responsible for the (un-)locking of the west side doors is madly in love with one of your fellow students Vashj, her name is MARIA [music playing]. Have you met Maria? She's pretty, oh so pretty. However, their relative positions in life have put their forbidden love on dangerous footing. Maria's family would not understand her love for Tony, and his family and friends, though confused by his love for her, have adopted a posture of resigned acceptance. In a sudden struggle between Maria's brother and her lover, the brother is left bleeding on the steps leading to the west side doors; left there alone to die. Though appalled by his actions, Maria's love for Tony cannot be broken, and the two make plans to leave the streets for somewhere more understanding, somehow there must be a place for them. Before they can leave, Maria's brother is avenged by Tony's death at the hand of Maria's cousin, Chino. Maria is left heartbroken: from one moment when she and her lover had finally felt that thaey could be together, theit greatest desire fulfilled, to the next when her love has been destroyed by the hand of her own family. She lashes out in rage asking "how many of you can I kill and still have one [of these bullets] left for me?" But in the end, there is nothing left to do but settle upon a final solemn point: the only thing these families agree on is that Tony's body will be carried out to an appropriate place. Fulfillment and crushing, empty, heartache. Nice wish Vashj. Maybe next time you might think through what you say before someone ends up dead...
Thanks to the marvelous people who originally came up with that beautiful but painful story. If you don't get the reference, don't bother: I've just ruined it for you. And don;t you try to call me on that Vashj: you just wished the person got their desire fulfilled, and that's what I've given you.
I wish culturally enriching events (theatre, concerts and such) were less expensive to attend.

Granted. kindergarten theater, clapping concerts, and modern art shows are now all free, plus shipping and handling.
I wish Vash had at least picked "Illinois traffic laws", in her corrupted wish granting.
