Yes, these will pretty much all be from me.
Let's start with the first one!
Once, in some time and age, were five brothers who had traveled the world. They came upon a magical stone, which would grant any one wish these five brothers could want. These five brothers were ecstatic! They all fought over the stone, but eventually an agreement was reached and an order was decided.
The first brother had some financial issues. Thus, he chose to have infinite money. His wish was granted with a magical, invisible entity always refilling his bank account whenever it depleted. Soon, he became a very greedy, hermit miser and wasted away in a grand castle. He was never happy again.
The second brother was exceptionally ambitious and power-hungry. He chose to have unlimited powers and infinite abilities. His wish was granted. Upon seeing himself in a godlike form, his mortal brain could not cope with the power, and he fell into a coma. He did not die, but was trapped within the coma, and was little better than dead.
The third brother was intelligent and thought this through a bit more than the others. He wished to be entirely happy. He became very complacent, however, and soon he forgot what life was all about. Even though he was happy, he became very confused and very self-contained. He soon was trapped within his own little world, where nothing could annoy him. He, although he was happy, forgot what happiness is all about, and was happy, although he didn't enjoy it that much anymore.
The fourth brother was very athletic and had contracted several medical problems in recent years. He wished to have an entirely healthy body, such that no medical harm could occur to his body. After this wish was granted to him, he realized he could do many very amazing things. He could survive any virus, and helped mankind discover cures for many diseases. But he became reckless and took life for granted, and was killed when he attempted to take the full force of a nuclear warhead. The radiation did not give him a cancer, but the explosion and force incinerated his body.
The fifth brother, having thought about all of these mistakes his brothers had made, chose to become immortal. He was now to live to the end of time and infinite number of infinite infinities away. After the first forty years, he began to notice that while he was immortal, everyone around him was still mortal. And while all of his friends, families, and other relatives died, he remained. He was tortured by this, and many times tried to end his own existence. But he could not, and he, at last, realized he had set himself up for the ultimate tragedy.
