A Happy Lament

 I walk in then, in the den. Ten steps in and I encounter a Djinn and I ask for three wishes but he ditches me and takes a form of a freckled fish and leaps into a well where darkness dwells.

 It was the most bizarre encounter until I found her weeping on a rock and she knocked on the wet wall of the cave. The Djinn walked out of the well, not as a fish but as Robin Williams and I said, "Oh Captain! My Captain!" and then he smiled and then she smiled and then I smiled.

 All three wishes now sat fulfilled.
