Sadat seemed
pleased as he turned to me. His long, delicate fingers created butterflies in
the air and as usual in my gut.
"The Sultan,
may the merciful one give him long life, has agreed to annul our wedding.
But..."
I knew it! The
greedy, 'honey with noodles' loving character hadn't changed in all of my 17
years on this dwelling of humanity.
Sadat, my gazelle
eyed beauty, was harping about the other crook in our lives, his father - the
vizier.
"Two marble
palaces with walls encrusted in precious stones?" Did I hear that right? The ethical djinn world was restive as it is with the
marked lack of Arab spring out here.
Sometimes, I wish I
hadn't found the lamp. At least, Jasmine was out of Sadat's life. What was she
thinking, flirting with my boyfriend in a transparent two piece?...Shaitan forbid, even my
djinn has picked up her silly song as his welcome tune. I linked my coarse, browner hand in Sadat’s
and sighed...
His face was
adorned by an enchanting smile that revealed his pearly whites. Time to wake up
the 'A whole new world' guy. Rubbing the magical lamp never
felt so good.
"Well, well, well! What
have we here?" Imhotep ran his fingers over this shiny, bald pate. The crystal
had revealed more than he had hoped for. His naughty 'nephew' was alive and the
magic lamp--so near and so far. His eyes took on a glassy look, his pupils
dilated and he drew a sharp breath at the sight of the pretty boy seated next to the thief.
'The temple of
Anubis would be barren without this jewel.' He rubbed his ring.
“My Akka, your wish my command."
“Kublai Khan's Palace,” resonated through the empty chamber.

Hi, Rek,
Over from the blogfest.... I liked your post. The use of classic names added much interest to the piece. Some very nice description.
It's nice to meet you.
Yes I agree with Michael, the names totally sucked me in :-)))
"Time to wake up the 'A whole new world' guy." <----Clever!
This was really fun. I enjoyed the vibe around it all... there was a mood here, which I love. Very original! ;)
I love the line: His long, delicate fingers created butterflies in the air and as usual in my gut.
Gives a real sense of mood.The last line was a hoot! What fun!
I loved the line about the butterflies, too, and the gazelle eyes. Very nice. Loved the story.
Love the names. It adds to the interest for me.
Several stellar lines in this great bit of writing Rek.
Hey Rek,
That was very original and very well written.
Thanks for participating - and you weren't late at all :)
Very inspiring and vivid lines which carry along begging for more! It sounds like a perfect palace too!
Oh I love it when I recognize the names so I get the 'gasp' factor when they are mentioned. :) Great job!
Beautiful writing!
Very original! Love it!
Interesting. Lots of great references there. I love the geni twist :

So if I've got it right, Aladdin was the narrator here? This was beautifully done, Rek. I love your turn of phrase - this flows very well.
great story. I love your choice of fairytale too. One of my favourites.
I love the Arabian Nights. You just took me back to a magical time in my childhood when I dreamed of flying carpets, djinn, and the mysterious all-seeing eye. I think that Arabian folklore is much more interesting and fascinating than just about any other cultures. I'd take it over Cinderella or Japanese fairy tales any day.
Original... and very creative too!
I love the spin you put on the Aladdin tale. Beautiful writing, as per usual.
High, girly (mezzo forté [Italian: medium loud])!! --- Take anything and everything you wanna from our wonderfull, plethora of thot to write the next great masterpiece -if- I can but kiss your gorgeous, adorable feets and cuddle withe greatest, human being ever to arrive in Seventh Heaven.

Glad you made it this far...would love to hear your take on the words scribbled. A comment every now and then keeps the blues away. :D
Since, crazy Mr. Blogspot won't let me reply to the comments here (is upset with the water ladies ever since they refused to verify visitors)...will do the next best thing, drop in to your blog to say my Vanakkam/Namaste/Salaam/Hello.
