In this day and age, however, nothing comes for free anymore - not the air you breathe or the water you wash your hands with. In fact, even genies of the lamp will find it impossible to grant you three wishes without first asking you to fall...

At the end of every weekday, your dad follows the same coming-home-from-the-office routine. He walks through the door, drops his briefcase heavily to the floor, and trudges to the living room, grunting at anyone who has the audacity...
