[ WP ] A genie will grant you one wish . You wish to be the adult your younger self imagined you would be .

Journal, I need to tell someone what happened. I ca n't believe it, if I had n't lived it I would n't believe it in the first place. If someone finds this, this is a true story make no doubt about it. It all started when I met a genie who would grant me a single wish. A GENIE! They do exist! I felt like Aladdin except without the moral compass. 
 
 
 Here's the first day: 
 
 
 `` Your one wish is to be the adult you always hoped to be. Is this your true desire?'' 
 
 
 I respond simply. `` Yes.'' 
 
 
 `` Thy will, be done.'' 
 
 
 I awoke to the sound of an alarm. What time is it? I look around this unfamiliar place and wonder what exactly I got into last night. I thought I'd drank too much or someone slipped me an extra in my drink. I had n't been blackout drunk in a very long time. 
 
 
 What I woke up to was every boys dream. It was like a harem, I felt like the biggest pimp on earth. Not 1, not 2, not 3, 4. Four beautiful women lay sprawled across my bed in various positions. My bed, it was massive! Like the kinds you see drug lords having in those classic movies! Oh this was crazy. My room, if you could call it that, it was big enough to fit my old apartment in! 
 
 
 This was the defining moment of my new life. I ca n't help but look back and remember this day. 
 
 
 It took me 3 full days to figure out exactly what it was I did for a living. You'll never believe it, nothing. I did nothing but what I wanted to do! Turns out I became a writer and immediately hit it off. Before waking up in this life I'd written 4 different fantasy series each of which made me millions. The money just sits in banks now, collecting that sweet American interest. I was in love. The people loved me, I was happy with myself, and I was never wanting for anything. 
 
 
 I married, had some kids who turned out to be great, and life was better than I thought. When they invented three dimensional worlds they chose to use the worlds I created for my books as the basis for the first themes. This was a very proud day for me, I was the first person to step foot in another world! The kid in me was so happy, I was happy, life was perfect. I was getting to an older age, almost 75 before I started feeling something was n't right. 
 
 
 Here's what the genie does n't tell you, as soon as your wish comes true, you start a timer. This timer reflects how much longer your wish stays active for, and mine ran out. 
 
 
 So here I sit in the nightstand, twenty-five again. I've lived a whole glorious life and now I have to return to the one I left. Still, something does n't feel right. 
 
 
 There's someone else in the house, someone that looks like me, but is n't. It just feels right that he's here though. Nobody ever talks to me anymore though, they only talk to him, which is why I decided to make you in the first place, Journal. He even has the same name as me! Maybe we're brothers, I ca n't remember. Sometimes he looks at me and laughs. Usually he ignores me too though. These wristbands are on too tight too, I just wish I could get them off. Maybe then they'll all talk to me again. Maybe then I'll be able to move again. 
 
 
 Until tomorrow journal,
