About this ebook
When Aladdin rubbed the magic lamp, things went pretty well for him. But a few thousand years later, the world has changed and the genie is old, cranky, and doesn't play fair. Young Alison thinks she's found the answer to all her prayers, but instead finds that having wishes come true isn't all it's cracked up to be.
This short story originally appeared in the anthology, Through a Tangled Wood, as written by Marijon Braden
Dee Ernst
Dee Ernst loved reading at an early age and decided to become a writer, though she admits it took a bit longer than she expected. After the birth of her second daughter at the age of forty, she committed to giving writing a real shot. She loved chick lit but felt frustrated by the younger heroines who couldn’t figure out how to get what they wanted, so she writes about women like herself—older, more confident, and with a wealth of life experience. In 2012, her novel Better Off Without Him became an Amazon bestseller. Now a full-time writer, Dee lives in her home state of New Jersey with her family, a few cats, and a needy cocker spaniel. She loves sunsets, beach walks, and really cold martinis.

Iwill never understand why my mother thinks I can hear her when she knows I’m wearing my earphones. Do we really have to go through this EVERY morning? Me, happily brushing my teeth, or getting my books together, or pouring my cereal for breakfast and suddenly – poof – there’s Mom, standing in front of me, screaming?
Alison, why don’t you answer me when I talk to you?
I pull the earphones out of my ears and roll my eyes. Because I can’t hear you, that’s why. Did you want something?
Mom takes a deep breath. Yes. I want you to pick up my dry cleaning on your way home from school. I’ll be home late, maybe not until nine.
Again?
It’s the last of the month, Ali. We’re closing the books tonight. Just like we do every month.
Can’t you pick up your dry cleaning tomorrow?
"Yes, I could, but I need it for tomorrow. The director is flying in and I need my suit."
I hate going in there. It’s creepy.
Oh, God, Ali, really?
He’s creepy. The old guy. He looks like a serial killer.

Mom says, but not very convincingly.
And I want new boots.
What? New boots? What kind of boots?
