The Magical Lamp
from Tall And True Short Reads
Handcuffed in the police car, I wished the lamp hadn't been magical. "That, sir, is a genuine antique," the stallholder had asserted when I'd stopped and inspected it at the secondhand market. The oil lamp looked like a prop from Disney's Aladdin. But though tarnished, I thought the embossed metal would polish up nice and shiny and earn me a tidy profit. The Magical Lamp is a short story written and narrated by Robert Fairhead from the Tall And True writers' website.
