From Bad To Worse - Part 3

He sits there looking at a golden lamp.

“Wait is this a magic lamp…”

“Like from the old folklore?

“How does it work though?”

“Wait, I remember!”

“You rub it and then a genie comes out.”

He sits the lamp in his lap.

“Time to rub one out!”

He pauses for a second.

“A genie that is.”

Takes his hand and rubs down it’s side back and forth.

Smoke begins to fill the room…

As it clears before him he sees a legally distinct green genie.

“Wow!“

“I have never seen a green one before!”

“I am the genie of the lamp.”

“not to be confused with any you might have seen on TV for I am green!”

Strange thing to point out.

When I just summoned him, and didn’t even ask about why he isn’t blue.

“I will grant you any one wish of your heart’s desire!”

“Oh, ok now bud on TV they get three wishes,” Matthew gives me a smug grin.

“I already told you I differ from the ones you saw on TV.”

“For I am green!”

“Yup, you said that already,” Matthew is now looking annoyed.

“But also I can only grant one wish.”

“Sheesh this isn’t TV kid!”

“Rude…” Matthew rebuts.

He rubs his chin thinking hard about his wish.

Then it dawns on him, he is in a desert with no food.

The thing he needs is food.

“I need to think about how to word this carefully,” He quietly says under his breath.

“Hmmm…..”

“Ah, I got it!”

“I need food, and not just some for now.”

“I need so much food….”

“I can never run out of food.”

The genie ponders his wish from a moment.

He then proceeds to look upon Matthew,

And a grins spreads across his face.

A vile looking grin.

“Ah, yes I can do that!”

The genie snaps his finger, the room fills with a flash of light.

A bright light that blinds him.

His ears are ringing like he got hit with a flash bang.

“What’s going on?”

The light fades as quickly as it came.

Now he is sitting on some grass surrounded by trees.

“Where am I now?”

“At least it is not that damn desert.”

Then his stomach grows.

“Ah man!”

“Where is this food he promised me!”

He moves between some trees and out into a clearing.

In the middle of the forest clearing…

He sees what has to be a 6 foot tall burrito sitting on the ground.

He can’t even tell how long it is from this angle.

He definitely got the food he wished for.

He cries tears down both cheeks from his eyes!

“This is what I wanted!”

“This right here!”

“Now that’s what I’m talking about!”
