By: Zack, 7th grade Mike wake up its 10 am get up and go. I heard something swish through the air before feeling a sharp pain on my head. My mom yelled once again for me to get up I grumbled and forced myself out of bed. By the size of the welt on my head and the pain throbbing through my body I figured she’d hit me pretty hard. I got up out of bed grumbling and whisked my mom out of my room and changed into jeans and a tee shirt. I brushed my teeth and got ready for school. But then as was going to the garage I tripped down the stairs and broke my nose.
So that’s how I missed school as it turns out I also tore a kidney so because of the extensive surgery I had to stay home, so there I am, on the computer. Then out of nowhere I had an idea, it was probably because my younger brother was in the other room watching Aladdin (this was after school) I typed in www.genie.com. Then the monitor started shaking my chair flew back and sent me crashing to the floor. I eased myself up to see that a purple face had come out of the computer screen. I reached out to touch it but a grey hand trust through the monitor and smashed my hand into the desk. I yelled and jumped away an angry spasm seemed to cross the purple face before it returned to staring at my face with an unreadable expression then I asked with a growl, what are you? The thing blinked once, twice and then said in a deep tone, whatever you want me to be I can be whatever your desires are they can be met anything is possible and here I give the three wishes…… three……. Wow how lame……. Part of my brain was thinking wow it’s just like a fairy tale… how dumb…. the other part was telling me I’m a fairy in a magical land, either way I think I’m crazy. So I asked him with a tone of a defiant student questioning a teacher’s motives and plot, what happens if I ask for more wishes or ask another wish after 3. The thing thought and his forehead wrinkled, it said “you can’t ask for more wishes. If you choose to ask for more than three wishes your computer will blow up. Blow up….. blow up you mean as in a ball of fire pieces go flying my head goes across the room kind of blow up or as in explode in a ball of flame….. I thought about this for a while before saying I’d like to make my first wish. I felt stupid as soon as the words bounced out of my mouth. The blue face sneered and said ok. I thought about what I would wish for, to be ruler of the world, to have unlimited money, end world hunger, world peace, to have my friends here to see this, to get better, to live forever, or to maybe have a nice bowl of chicken noodle soup when I wake up. I asked the genie for a dollar because I didn’t want 2 sounds like I really believed it just in case if it was fake, which seemed less and less likely. And before my eyes a dollar appeared. I couldn’t believe my eyes, it was real. The genie smiled revealing a series of blood red teeth looked up and said, “next question”.
