POOF!
In a cloud of smoke, a Genie appears in front of me, and intones,
"I am the Genie of Fantasy. I can not make you rich or famous, but I CAN put you into any fantasy world you wish. You can stay in the fantasy world as long as you want... you can say the words, "Teenie Genie, take me home" or if you fall asleep, you'll return to this real world, and only one minute in real time will have passed."
I eagerly tell him what I want.
POOF!
I walked in the front door. “I’m home.”
I entered the living room. Wife stood there holding a leather belt.
I entered the living room. Wife stood there holding a leather belt.
“YOU are
LATE.”
“I … I was
talking to Sam, and I lost track of time.”
“Did you
lose your phone, too?”
“No, it’s
right here?”
“THEN WHY
DIDN’T YOU CALL ME?”
“Oh … well,
I was just hurrying to get home…”
“You are
FORTY FIVE MINUTES late.”
“Um, sorry,
dear.”
“That really
makes me feel better. No, not really. So, last time you were late, what did I give
you?”
“Uh … one swat for each minute.”
“And what
will you be getting this time?”
“Erk … two
swats for each minute?”
“THAT is
correct.”
Pause
“WHAT are
you waiting for?”
I sighed nervously and began to strip, to my briefs.
“Now get
yourself on the bed, and over the pillows that I have thoughtfully provided.”
I got on the bed over the pillows, and she pulled my briefs down and
She applied the ninety strokes of the belt.
“Now, in the
corner there…care to guess for how long?”
“Um, forty
five minutes?”
“Try again.”
“NINETY
minutes?”
“Quite so.”
I sighed and went to the corner.
I stood there and closed my eyes
Poof!
I was home.
Poof!
I was home.
