Bad Genie

CHAPTER 67

BAD GENIE

Josh stared at the lamp before him. Could this really be what he thought it was? Is this the type that a genie would come out of? That would be so neat, he thought. Well, here goes nothing, he figured and rubbed.

POOF!

Yeah what do you want?

Are you a genie?

Yeah, yeah get on with it.

So, I get three wishes right?

That seems to be consensus, so yeah, three’s good.

Great! I thought about it before I rubbed so I’m sooo ready.

I’m here to give wishes. I’m not your bartender, so just wish away dude.

Right, right. I wish for a car…

POOF.

A Yugo shows up before Josh.

What is this?

It’s a car. I see that but you didn’t let me finish. You got me midsentence.

Yeah, sorry. A.D.D. and all. What’s your next wish?

OK but here me out first OK? I wish for a girl…

POOF

A four year old with pig tails appears before Josh and immediately starts bawling for her mother.

What is this?

You wished for a girl, and you got one.

Dude, I wasn’t finished. You gotta let me finish my sentences. I wish you’d stop doing that!

Easy enough. POOF… And the genie and his lamp were gone.

So where do you live kid? I’ll give you a ride home in my Yugo… if you fit.
