There is another. Another soul that has had the great fortune of finding my lamp. The dreamless sleep is dreamless no longer for now there are visions of her. Fatimah. A young Palestinian girl of eighteen winters and a stature of no more than five foot three with a slender build though most wouldn't be able tell given her modest fashion sense. In these visions I have of her she chooses to wear baggy clothes to hide her figure from the world. But nothing can escape my sight. Not when one has taken my lamp into their possession. Now her thoughts become my own and my power grows.
She lives all alone in a city full of strangers. A city known as New York. Strangers because she is new to this place having moved from far up north. A place called Dearborn, Michigan. It's a move she looked forward to wanting to be an independent adult. Here she could attend the University, make some friends and hopefully after many years of hard work, become a lawyer to help those who she believes are oppressed. Such naivety. But this naivety makes her all the more delicious. This naivety that is typical of ignorant young humans is what will make her gift herself to me for she is in debt. Student loan debt. Barely able to pay rent for her apartment. Barely able even to have a decent meal at night reduced to having noodle soup.
We are bound together now so there any endless visions playing over in my mind like a slideshow. In them see her awaken early the same time every morning without failure. She washes her hands, feet and face then rolls out her carpet on the floor to pray. Always facing the same direction. This Mecca they believe to be a holy place but is in reality a place of paganism. A place I travelled to long ago when the world was a much more exciting place. When people actually believed. Now the world is a miserable place full of disbelievers. So bored with all I was that peace within the privacy of a lamp was preferred. Most will laugh at the notion of a Djinn being real and yet, here I am. Making an appearance every now and again to a woman that stumbles across my lamp.
There are visions of her undressing each morning and night, granting me a view of her perfectly rounded pink nipple breasts and those firm ass cheeks of hers. Ass cheeks that deserve to be smacked. Her skin is unblemished. Beige in hue. Her hair long and black raining just passed her shoulders. Her nose is small. Her eyes dark complimented by sharply curved eyebrows. Just to the left of her lips is a small beauty mark. Her cheeks are rounded. Usually pink with a light shade of makeup. Her pussy is clean shaven. I cannot help but wonder how she tastes and smells for each is unique. I should know having tasted several hundred thousand of many a millennium.
There have been many showers. Warm waters raining down on her from above as she ran a pink cloth over her skin lathering it with a thick foam of peach scented soap. Foam that washed away quickly with the water pouring down over her. It left her skin glistening with cleanliness. Her hair she washed with fruit scented shampoo. She is truly a rare jewel. A virgin for in these visions of her she has never been touched by man. But not for long. Tonight she will surrender herself to me and in that moment have the best experience of her life like so many others before her. She should be honored. Then, with her laying in bed having an orgasm long afterwards, my lamp, like it has many times before, shall vanish and in a decade or a hundred years be found again by yet another human woman in need.
Now I can feel her hands as if they were moving over my very skin in a way only a woman can. But it is not my flesh she touches but the lamb. She does so without knowing that such an action will release me from the darkness that is my home. And it does. The darkness fades away with my ascension. Freedom at last. The entirety of her room is bathed in hellish flames that consume not the walls or furniture. She sits at the edge of her bed in shock wearing nothing but her scarf, a white shirt, panties and thin cotton socks. The words "Djinn" rolls off her lips before dropping the rusted old lamp onto the floor.
