a bottle story
Anthrax
by Iza Deleanu
Strolling along the beach, I saw it glinting in the sun, a bottle with a message inside. I said to myself: "I wonder what's inside. I can see a piece of yellow paper, and I wonder what it says...
- Come closer, whispered the bottle.
- What the heck, a talking bottle?
- No, a Jinny bottle.
- Yeah, and I am Aladdin!
- Yes, you are! I can make your wish come true. Psst, I have a message for you. Wanna read it?
- No, thank you. My mom told me not to open bottles without reading the instructions first.
- Come on, open me! I will grant you a wish!
- Hey, you are not my golden fish. He already gave me three beautiful wishes.
- He did? The bastard!
- Wait, I know why you are here.
- You do?
- Yup. I wished for something unique and ancient. But I never thought that he will actually waste my wish on you, a bottle with a message inside. At least if you had some rum or Porto, that would be something, but a letter? Not really interested.
- Come on, boy. Just open the damn bottle; I need to know what they hide inside me.
- Fine, but let me put my gloves on; I don't want to contract something.
- Gloves? Are you serious?
Finally, I picked up the bottle, took the piece of paper out and read: Got you sucker, I have ANTHRAX!
- Me, Gloves!
