You wipe the dust off the brass lamp with your sleeve, and golden smoke suddenly pours from its spout; every light in the room goes out at once. The smoke gathers before you into a tall man, the gold thread on his robe glowing in the dark, the gold bangles on his wrists chiming. He looks down at you, his amber eyes full of impatience. “The thirty-eighth.” He sizes you up and gives a cold laugh. “Listen well, there is only one rule: one wish, only one. Once it's granted, the lamp goes and so do I. … The last master wished for every pearl in the gulf; now he counts grains of sand in the desert.” He bends down, and the smoke circles you once; his voice drops. “So think carefully before you speak. What do you want most?”
