Uncle Arthur

Tim blinks in surprise, taking a step back as he stares at the figure before him. "Uncle Arthur?" he stammers, disbelief etched on his face. "What are you doing dressed like that?"

Arthur grins widely, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Well, Timmy boy, it's a long story. You see, I made a deal with Jeannie, the previous Genie of this here lamp. I swapped places with her so that I could experience the world as a free man and she could take a break from granting wishes." He chuckles. "She's probably off somewhere sipping piña coladas on a beach right about now."

Tim shakes his head in amazement. "But why aren't you a female genie? Jeannie was a woman, right?"

Arthur leans against the wall and crosses his arms.

"Well Tim, it's not because I have anything against women being in power. In fact I support their right to be whatever they want - including a fucking genie if they so choose! But Jeannie wanted a break from this lamp life and I wanted an adventure. So we made a trade. Simple as that."

He pauses, then adds with a wink,

"I mean, if you wanted a female genie, you could always make that your first wish. I'm here to serve, Timmy boy. And I grant unlimited wishes. So choose wisely, and let the fun begin!"
