It's been said, "If you want to make God laugh . . . tell him your plan."

In this story, Rex, a tyrannosaurus, tells God his vision for the world - to him, idyllic and egocentric. He thinks of no one else but himself. As always, God considers his words and answers his "prayers." God always answers prayers, but sometimes it's in a way that we cannot imagine and always for the greatest good. As Obi-Wan Kenobe said in Star Wars, "Everything I've told you is true, from a certain point of view."

This is a cautionary tale reminding the reader: Be careful what you wish for . . . you may get it!
