(A flash fiction piece prompted by Carrot Ranch. Subject: deep wishes. I utilized the genie inside of a magic lamp trope and gave it an ending I don’t recall ever seeing in a three wishes story. Link below.)
“Oh boy! A magic genie! I want a billion dollars, a new pickup truck, and a hot girlfriend!”
“Patience, I’ve been stuck inside of a lamp, and I haven’t even offered you any wishes yet.”
“But don’t I get three wishes?”
“Of course, but you should think deeper about what you really want.”
The man pondered. “You know what I would really like, to go back to the last time I was truly happy.”
“Granted!”
The man was walking down the street then noticed a shiny object. “Hey, one of those magic lamps with a wish granting genie inside!”

Yes! That’s what I thought as soon as I came up with the ending. 😀
