"I have to say no."
"No? Why?"
"Because it's not a good idea"
"But... But.. "

"Do you understand this person?"
An image floats up as the man standing before him suddenly looks empty and haunted.

"Or this person?"
Another image floats up and the man screams.

"Do you see now, why wanting to be fully understood is a bad idea?"

Gasping for breath and pulling himself upright, drying tears; the man looked at the genie.

"Ok, ok... How about just making me rich?"

"Done!"

Dear diary,

It is another gruelling day, depressing and dank. The sun seems grey in a dark sky, draining all colour from the world. Hope fades. Food turns to ashes in our mouths, drink satisfies no thirst. We begin to mourn for ourselves, our lives outside forgotten, our loved ones a distant memory. The very atmosphere is oppressive, still and quiet but threatening of what we know not.

It is day four.

The bunny is angry. [1]
