I don’t think this is so easy. I am sure you do not wish to die in two weeks. You are pretending to wish and thus you are lying. Why should the wishing well fulfill a pretend wish? Writing “I wish my family wil die in two weeks” is surely irresponsible. What if your family discovers the note, do you explain that it was a scientific experiment? What if something happens to your family after 10⁄20 days—are you free of guilt by a rational act of will? Words hurt. Words can boomerang. And the heart has its Reason. This experiment is a betrayal of the heart committed by logical arrogance (and inexperience).
I didn’t say the rock was listening. You are listening. And thus you can lie or tell the truth—or maybe both lie and tell the truth at the same time and change your mind about them after a short while.

You can neither speak truth nor lie to a rock.
