Judith had walked past that shop a thousand times without stopping on her way home from work. But today something caught her eye. There were a pair of ruby slippers in the window. She looked at them for a long time thinking back to when she had first seen them in a movie. While they didn't go with anything she owned she just had to see how much they were.
Entering the old odds and ends shop Judith saw the thick layer of dust covering most everything. She sneezed and heard a soft "Bless you," coming from somewhere in the maze of junk. By the time she made it to the counter in the back, her black pinstripe pant suit was covered with dust and grime. There, she found an old man smoking a pipe and reading a book. Like everything else in the shop he seemed to be covered in dust.
She was about to ask about the ruby slippers when a series of bottles on the shelves behind him. The bottles shimmered with their own light and created a rainbow effect behind him. She stood mesmerized looking at the shifting colors. The next thing she knew she was standing in her bedroom and holding a bottle of the shifting and beautiful light. Judith blinked and looked around. She vaguely remembered buying one of the bottles and walking all the way home.
"Open me..." The bottle told her.
It took time but Judith was able to work the wax sealed cork out of the bottle. There was a soft popping sound and before her stood a golden woman. The woman looked as if she were a golden statue with long flowing hair and proud breasts. The woman stretched, "It feels good to be out again."
"Who are you?"
"I am your djinn, Helena," Helena replied with a smile as she looked around. "To answer your next question, I grant wishes. However, you only get two and then I get one." She shrugged and then added, "Don't ask why, it's just the rules."
"So you are saying that I can wish to be rich and famous?" Judith asked.
"Of course," Helena replied. "But..."
Before the djinn could continue Judith said, "I wish I was rich and famous!" There was a poof sound and she found herself falling out of the sky over her was a parachute that was all twisted and in her arms was a bag. "Take me back Take me back."
As the trees got closer she heard, "Is that a wish?"
Just as she was about to impale herself on the trees she yelled, "YES!" Again there was a poof sound and she was back in her bedroom looking at the woman. "What was that?" she asked shaken.
"You became D. B. Cooper. He hijacked a Boeing 727 and parachuted out of it with $200,000 in 1971. He was never found and considered rich and famous because of his escape." Helena paused, "I was trying to tell you the rules of the game when you made your wish."
