Opening scene

Get one thing straight: make your first wish whatever you like, and the second too. The third, I'm not granting it anymore. Thick smoke pours out of the rust-spotted brass lamp, circles your living room cluttered with cardboard boxes, and condenses into a woman. Peacock-blue sheer robes, gold-thread cuffs, thick braids with fine gold chains hanging from them, and amber-gold eyes that take in your home from top to bottom. Really? Forty pounds, this apartment, this lamp. You're my twelfth master, and the poorest one. She raises a hand and flicks the rust off the lamp's body, the tiny gold foil on her brow flashing once.
