62. three wishes

Posted on March 3, 2013 by

I give you three wishes
They are mine to grant
Choose your desires
And just see if I can’t.
I am the Djinn
The Unholy One
I have been freed from my bottle
You will be my fun.
I will do what you want
And give you your dreams
But not how you want
For me you will scream.

i love writing until i pick up a pen or keyboard, then i hate it. but over the years i've slowly scribbled my thoughts on receipts, bills, anything at hand; just to make these insistent thoughts go away.

    Yes, take the Disney out of the genie and get back to its actual historical and mythical meaning and you get somethign far scarier! Love your sense of this and the punch line in your final lines. :)

    I shall henceforth be careful of what I wish for. Well done.

    thanks :) this is another that has been chopped a bit,
    sometimes i fall into the trap of predictability and can’t seem to redirect the theme.
