Darkness

I am back with another Aladdin story again focusing on the Genie because in my opinion he is by far the best Disney character. I would love to hear your thoughts on this and my other Genie based Aladdin story so please drop me a review they make me so happy!

Disclaimer:

Sadly I don't own Aladdin if I did the Genie would have his own movie!

There are many things about my life, if you can call what I have a life difficult. An eternity of servitude, cramped living space, always having to follow orders, always having to be on show and never being able to think or act for myself. None of that is easy but it dims in comparison to the never ending guilt, an eternity of guilt, that is the hardest part.

I have to do whatever my master tells me with only a few limitations of not being able to make people fall in love, bring people back from the dead or kill anyone but the last one isn't strictly true hence the insufferable grief.

Although I can't physically kill anybody it doesn't mean people haven't died as a result of my actions based on what my master has wished or ordered me to do. Many masters have wished for me to rip up buildings or give them the strength to do so themselves resulting in the death and injury of many people. Or granted wishes that have left a trail of destruction and most likely death.

I have granted wishes for other masters which result in great embarrassment and shame for others but I am bound to grant their wishes.

I have tried reminding myself I have no choice but to do as ordered but when I see and hear the devastation my actions have caused I know all too well it is a weak excuse.

Dread washes over me as a currently unknown master rubs the lamp transporting me out to stand before them ready to act on their wishes, regardless of who it hurts.

I am genuinely sorry for every person whose lives I have wrecked or killed and for enabling these awful people to carry on hurting people. It is true there is the chance that some people who find the lamp would not use the wishes to hurt others but given the efforts and actions required to get to my lamp, it's not likely.

I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this but there is no escape for me or the people I hurt for as long as i'm bound to the lamp and forced to carry out wishes, regardless of the consequences.
