I wish.. |karlnap

The only thing I have close enough to seeing a human, is watching the television, but it's all old shows from my memory. I control everything in here, including what happens on the television, meaning that all the channels are based on what I've seen in the outside world, or what I remember of it.

For all I know there could be flying cars now, or the whole population could've been wiped out of existence.

I sigh again, this time a longer more dreadful one, you can hear the tiredness in my voice.

As all of my hope went down the drain, I hear a strange noise.

is it... no it can't be.

is it a human?

did someone finally find me?

I stand up quickly and I start walking around, desperately trying to hear that voice again.

The voice sounded masculine, and around my age.

I like playing a game whenever someone finds me, I just listen to their voice and guess their gender and age range. I've gotten pretty good at the game too.

I wait for a few minutes, but it's still silent, my smile slowly starts to fade.

Maybe I'm just going crazy, making myself think I heard someone, when in reality nobody's there.

Just as I start to sit back down I hear the voice again. The sides of my mouth turn up, I can't help but smile. I'm so excited, I haven't seen someone in years.

I brace myself, getting ready to be pulled out of the bottle. I close my eyes and stand as still as I can.

Then I feel it, the cold air flowing through my curly brown hair.

am I out?

I slowly open my eyes and see someone infront of me, my eyes widen in surprise of seeing another living thing.

I find myself stepping closer to the person, my hands finding their way to his face.

but I stop myself.

"I'm sorry, I just haven't seen someone in a while" I smile, clearly embarassed.

he just stared at me in disbelief, I'm guessing he didn't think it would actually work.

"I guess I should explain what's happening here" I pause, "I'm Karl, and I'm a Genie, yes we're real, you have 3 wishes and after those are up I go back into that Genie lamp you're holding"

he stays quiet, he's just standing there, staring at me.

I speak up, "I know it's hard to believe, but you can't just stare at me forever, if you have any questions feel free to ask me and I'll answer"

"sorry, um it's just I didnt actually expect that to work, I just did it as a joke" he finally responds.

I feel my cheeks burn up a little, his voice is just.. I can't explain it, but I know for sure that it gives me goose bumps.

"yeah, most people do" I scratch the back of my head.

"okay, uh, are there any rules for these 3 wishes?" he asks.

"the only one is that you can't ask for more wishes, which should be obvious" I roll my eyes playfully.

"yeah, I get that"

"any other questions?" I ask eagerly.

"um not really" he says.

"okay, what do you want your first wish to be.. uh what's your name?" I stumble over my words.

"Sapnap" he replies, giving me a smile.

I look down at my stomach, it feels weird. I don't like the feeling, but I like it in a way.

"are you okay? your face is red" he puts his hand on my shoulder, trying to get my attention.

I just nod in response, as my face starts to burn up in response to the touch.

I steady my breathing and look back up at him.

"what is your first wish Sapnap?" I ask.

"I honestly... don't know" he shoots me a confused look.

normally people know right away what their three wishes are going to be, how come he doesn't.

"what's something you want more than anything in the world?" I ask, trying to give him some ideas.

Sapnap continues to stand there, just staring at me, trying to think of ideas.

"I'm fine with everything going on in my life right now, I don't really need anything" he replies.

"take your time, I'll be here until you make your last wish, I'm not going anywhere" I give him a sweet smile.

he nods in response.

"I want to get to know you, how is it like being a Genie?" Sapnap asks curiously.

"well, it's pretty lonely honestly, after someone uses up their three wishes I'm forced back into the Genie lamp" I pause, and sit down on the floor, "I can make the inside of that lamp look like anything, and I can do anything in there, except for one thing" I sigh.

"well, what's that one thing?" he asks, also sitting on the floor.

"I can't wish for any living things to accompany me in there, I've tried so many times, I can't even get a dog for crying out loud" I put my head down in shame.

Sapnap grabs my chin with his hand lifting it up to face him.

this gesture makes my face turn pink.

the feeling in my stomach comes back again, the feeling I missed, but also didn't want to feel again.

"continue, darling" he smiles.

DARLING?!?!???

that one word kept repeating in my head, making my face turn red instead of a light peachy pink.

"uh I- um" I stutter.

he just smiles in response.

"it just gets really lonely, because I can only communicate with another living thing when someone lets me out, and that person was you" I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in.

"wow, I didn't know being a Genie could be so.. depressing" he giggles.

"shut upp" I giggle.

"well, I know my wish" Sapnap perks up.

"okay, what is it?" I ask eagerly.

"I wish for you to be let free of your Genie lamp"

my eyes widen.

he wasted one of his wishes on me?

"are you sure? you can wish for something else" I say, trying to convince him to change his wish.

"yeah, that's my wish" he gives me a smile.

I sigh and accept defeat.

"you know that by doing this, it won't make me a Genie anymore and you can't get your other two wishes" I admit.

"that's fine, I don't need those wishes anyway, and it doesn't seem like you like being a Genie"

I nod in agreement, and make his wish come true, suddenly the Genie lamp he was holding cracked into a million pieces, making it impossible to put it back together.

"I'm guessing that means it worked" he looks at me with a confused look.

"yeah, it did" I smile.

Author's note: this was starting to become a really long chapter, I would've continued writing if I didn't almost have 2000 words, so I might make a part two if you guys liked this one.
