Djinn
Our hero, Alithea, is obsessed with stories, It’s a solitary life, but one she enjoys. During a trip to Istanbul, Alithea purchases an antique bottle, a charming capped bottle in one of the thousands of shops at a sprawling Istanbul bazaar. Upon returning to her hotel room, she uncorks the bottle – with, hilariously, the help of her electric toothbrush to loosen the cap – and an immortal creature belonging to the magical race of Djinn comes pouring out, changing Alithea’s life forever. The Djinn offers to grant Alithea three wishes, as long as each one is truly her heart's desire, with the following exceptions: no wishing for more wishes, immortality, and no wishing for an end to sin or suffering. However, Alithea argues that wishing is a mistake, accusing the Djinn of being a trickster. In response, the Djinn proceeds to tell her three tales of his past and how he ended up trapped in the bottle. Alithea is moved by the story and realizes that she has fallen in love with the Djinn.
