The genie grants you a wish. What is it?

No question, fiction has its place.  

Rather, places, plural, as it goes these days.  Many , many places. Many.  And yet folks, I digress once more.  

I do enjoy the well crafted variety.  Science.  Comedic.  Historic.  Cartoonic.  Not so much pulpic. That one tends to leave me with fiction burns.  

But having lived a sadly fictional existence for far too long. I am not sure I can honestly entertain the thought of asking a genie to grant me one more wish.  

This one did have his moments.  

Robin,  especially. 

It is just that these days, I am entirely focused on making myself more of a non-fictional character.  Not one born of a bottle.  

Perhaps some time down the road, I will do something so well, so profound and so in good character,  that others – and myself – won’t believe it. A conundrum never thought  possible.  

Huh. 

Perhaps that might fulfill today’s assignment. 

Let’s make that my genuine and only wish. 

No genie, nor bottle, needed.  

To finally just be Mark. 

A truth stranger than fiction.
