    Considering how intentionally malecious the side effects of typical genie-wishes tend to be, the extra electron probably comes to rest in the wishers hypophysis and causes a free radical that leads to a rare sort of cancer that prevents the wisher from falling asleep ever again, so he dies in madness scratching out his own eyes.
    0r something similar along that line.

      I’m really bothered by that zero 0 instead of an o O.

        Oh, you are right…
        Sorry, handwriting recognition sometimes has its own mind.
        And this error must have slipt my prove reading as it is just too well camouflaged…

            No, just using the standard Gboard on Android. It has build-in handwriting recognition which for some reasons I like better than the standard virtual keyboard.

            And regarding the remaining typing errors: just take them as an indication that I’m very likely not an AI ;-)

            The “slipt” was probably caused by a false-friends-like scenario based on the translated word in my mother tongue: “entschlüpft”.
            Notice the added “t” at the end that denotes the past tense.

      its like the wishmaster GENIE(djinn) which is really demons, since demons also grant wishes. he gives wishes but the wishes always have unintentional consequences if your not very specific. I think Xfiles there was a genie episode, where mulder was able to grant a “true wish” that end up negating everything(the bad wishes). or like shikon jewel which doesnt really grant a true wish to a person.

        Coincidently I watched the X-Files episode a few weeks back.
        I loved it!
        It is one of their more dark comedy ones with some philosophical topics.
        No “true wish” at the end, as far I remember, but a nice twist and imo quite satisfying ending.
