Riveting throughout his body pain.
He knew of pain but not like this he
had cancer and it was spreading
throughout his body,three months
at the outside.

He gone through the usual,going
to a hospital,admitting himself then
three days of x rays and cat scans
to determine what sort of treatment
he would get.

Visits were welcome,his wife came
so did his children Sam and Ella to
they were crying ,which was natural
and they said a prayer  together but
before leaving Sam left him a box .

It was a box of unusual wrapping the
paper had egyptian writing on it,he in
fact had another hour of radiation tre-
atments and then while he was resting
he would open the box .

Suddenly as the box sat there he cough
just getting done with the treatment too. 

' You open this box you will be free of 
being sick,no more cancer cells in your
body,' came a voice from the box he look
at it and determined what did he have to
lose but living .

He open a box more egyptian too writing it
was a music box or so was it appearence

' Remove the top and smoke will appear it
will form in the shape of me,I am a genie .'

He coughed and smile,usually three wishes
came with a genie .But what three wishes
would a dying man choose ?
