There was no indication that a seemingly ordinary task would escalate into something truly extraordinary. Gerard was just wasting the day away finally cleaning up that attic of his when he stumbled on something unusual; a magic lamp.
Just like in the movies a magical genie appeared from the lamp to grant Gerard his three wishes. Gerard was determined not to let the wishes go to waste so he quickly began to formulate a plan for how he could get the most out of his opportunity and navigate around the female genie's rules.
He was going to get all the wishes that he wanted and all he had to do to get them was outsmart the genie.
