As a child, my parents were unaware of my delivery boy service for the mafia. It never occurred at the time that when I asked for a lollipop here and there that I would be `` forever in their debt''. Like I said, a child, roughly 8 years of age. No cop expects crime out of an 8 year old. 
 
 So at this current moment, I'm now in my later 20's and deep into college persuing my BA. It was after one day after my classes that i was approached by a man in a fresh set of duds who explained to me my past and what i owed for all my gifts. Apparently, I had asked for several bits of candy plus some money....big mistake.... 
 
 Having no clue how or what, for that matter, of time that I was given to repay my so-called debt did I think to say that I was young and ignorant to the factor. I guess age is only a number when you're in debt to a mafia. I panicked as I thought my future was to be foiled by a stupid job I took up long before I knew what a job really was. To spite my best efforts, I still thought of nothing, and walked home with my tail between my legs. 
 
 I decided to do some window shopping to deter the inevitable fate I bestowed upon myself. I'd noticed an amazing pair of shoes I thought to myself, `` These would look great during my open casket service'' it was n't long after that window shopping only led to a more depressing matter of my life's insignificance. I decided at this point just to buy a really nice gift for myself as a parting from this life to the next.....but what should I buy? 
 
 I was not going to go home without a nice trinket to satisfy my last need; what would make me feel better? I remembered the days when Disney movie's were all I cared for because it reminded me that although my parents are gone, the memories I have of them still stick around. I decided Aladdin was always my favorite, and thinking of the way Aladdin got out of his problem, I might just find the hope and think of a plan. 
 
 I, unfortunately, had to find a copy for a VCR due to the lack of technology I had in my apartment, but it worked well for the task it was made for. Popping in the cassette, I actually felt a sense of joy. I hit the play button on the VCR but to my amazement, nothing happened. My heart sank to an acidic death-like feel as all hope felt lost... 
 
 Suddenly, a Robin Williams type speech is projected from inside my VCR. I think to myself that `` It's just an auditory illusion'' but this is where it gets weird. I jump out of my chair as the voice had startled me considering no movie had started. I threaten the voice to reveal itself. Nothing. I pause for a moment before walking back up to the VCR and pressing play. The voice came back almost like a communication between other worlds. I hesitated to press play one more time and you would never believe what happened... 
 
 The actual Genie from the lamp was now a Genie from the VCR. Robin's voice to it and all. He stated he'd been in the video for ages and similar to the rubbing of the lamp, he required someone to play the tape. As a token of his graditude, he offered one wish. I had found my hope! I knew what I needed to do and I did it without context. 
 
 No one has heard from me in a long time. No one. It's almost like I fell off the face of he earth. But that's when it hit me. A steel pipe to be exact. It was dirty of them to have killed me that way. I never told them my address, they just, for a lack of better words, found me. I never saw it coming since I fell into that depression when the video did n't work and just slept in my lazyboy. I'm now beside myself as I watch them clean up the mess they made. Word of advice from a deceased man, do n't work for the mafia. No matter the age, they will make that offer you ca n't refuse....
