i love the ending... she was the creator

Thank you, Gypsy
Comment from GARY MACLEAN
Three wishes one might think would be a blessing, but Here is a classic example of just the opposite.
Para 2, 2nd sentence: SUGGEST remove (was) before (manageable)
Para 2, 2nd sentence (intergallactic) should be (intergalactic) one (l)
Para 3, 2nd sentence: (shut down) should be (shutdown) one word
A very good hidden lesson in ethics is to be careful what you ask for.

Thank you, Gary, for these corrections.
Comment from Lem Aster
I really like this concept and how you were able to cover a lot of ground in just 100 words, and provide an evocative twist on an age old question. Good luck!

This has a few layers I think, which makes it very clever, and a thought provoking short story. Well written. Sending best wishes for the 100 word dash contest.

I liked how you alluded to the three wishes tale and then finally alluded to the creation of the universe as in the first words of creation in Genesis 1. Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Interesting.
Well written. Good work.
Now that I've said what I wanted to say, I suppose I can simple dribble on until I reach the sacred one hundred and fifty characters. "Are we there yet?"
Good luck in the contest.
I liked your story!

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
This is a great flash story!!
This is a favorite genre of mine not only to read but to write as well.
I appreciate the presentation and whimsical nature of this story.
This is clever, imaginative, and wildly creative.
Often time flash stories can read awkwardly and leave me wanting more. This story did not, I felt satisfied at the stories conclusion.

Comment from Douglas Goff
Interesting. I would have used my third wish to wish for another genie. Also, a naked genie always adds more ambiance and a general flare to the story. Seriously, interesting. Keep it up !

I would have given the genie a noticeable limp and a Detroit Tigers ball cap, but I only had a hundred words. : )

Nicely played. You are a creative one!
