One Wish

Lucas had long wished to swap bodies with a woman, and stumbling across a genie that granted him one wish got him so giddy. He knew immediately what he’d wish for -- to swap bodies with a woman.

With little specifics, the genie knew the wish was wide open to interpretation. Once granted, Lucas wished he had been more specific.

In his head, swapping bodies with a woman meant he’d become sort of gorgeous goddess like the vision in his head. Instead, he found himself working at a salon in the body of a slightly overweight woman with crooked teeth. This wasn’t the dream he had in mind, but perhaps he could make the most of it...

Restrictions Apply

With all the fake props at the local comic convention, finding an actual magic lamp was probably unheard of -- of course, finding a magic lamp anywhere was probably unheard of -- but that’s exactly what Jared found. When the genie came out, Jared was thankful he was away from the crowd, and the sheer amount of cosplayers meant the genie could walk around without being noticed. Then the genie gave the rules. Apparently, Jared couldn’t wish for anything deemed to be “too big” or “too disruptive.” Jared asked how he would know, and the genie just explained that he’d let Jared know.

So Jared tried wishing for money, fame, and love; all of which the genie deemed to be ungrantable. In an effort to just get anything from the genie, he wished for the best costume at the convention. The genie nodded, but instead of upgrading Jared’s outfit, he swapped Jared’s body with the woman who had just won Best Costume.

Jared was getting more and more frustrated with the genie at this point. He would have to use at least one of his remaining wishes in order to get his own body back, and then he’d only have one left. Of course, that is assuming he could find something, anything the genie would actually grant him that didn’t involve swapping bodies with someone!

Exclusive Interview

I had been granted an exclusive interview with Madison Lowery; it was a thrilling opportunity. It was hard to recall the last time a celebrity got famous so quickly, being booked on countless shows, movies, and fashion shoots in such a short time. I had to know her secret, so I asked.

“It was a genie,” She laughed.

“No, seriously,” I protested.

“For real. Six months ago, I was actually a guy down on his luck, and I mean a guy, a dude, a male. I came across a genie. I wished to be attractive. I should’ve been more careful, as I had hoped to be an attractive guy; instead he gave me the body you know see. Then I wished for fame that brought me great wealth. It’s non-stop work, but at least I have this wonderous estate.”

“This all sounds far-fetched.”

She took me to get backyard that had an absolutely enourmous animal. “It’s the finest of its kind with a coat that is naturally manicured perfectly. It’s larger than you’d find anywhere else, no matter where you looked. It exists because it’s magic.”

“But why would this be your third wish?”

“Another case of needing to be more careful. Do you really think I wished for the world’s largest and most beautiful donkey?” She asked.
