Darren hadn't counted the days he was stuck floating in an endless darkness.
Darkness becomes his companion, as if it had become one with him. His mind becomes empty as he was left no more emotions.
He just let the darkness control him, he isn't tired or anything, he just felt nothing. His eyes are contained spirals moving through infinite void.
No mere thoughts could help him recover back in the old days. Darren had become no more than just a missing lost soul no one would claim.
He is isolated from the whole world.
Maybe it's been years, decades, centuries and even millennias yet he's still here waiting and waiting, some parts of him become familiar with darkness as if he never wanted to be separated from it.
He had spent a long time with the darkness more than he had spent with his loved ones.
A constant spiral through the endless voice. Funny isn't it?
Boom!
He heard some sound yet, he couldn't be bothered.
Darren had become used to the darkness that he wasn't ready to face the light.
Irony isn't it?
The first contact when he was dragged into the pit of darkness was that he longed for light and colored, but now Darren never seemed to care.
He had grown accustomed to the darkness that had shielded him for near eternity.
Whiiiiiish!
A dazzling light shined bright above that is pulling him outside, he had no more expectations.
Boom!
Purple clouds was covering the surroundings. And when he opened his eyes, he was met with one being.
"Are you the genie?"
'What genie?'
Contrary to the little girls expectations, Darren seemed nonchalant about this ordeal.
"My wish is to have a happy family."
"Ah happy family?"
"Yes."
The girl quickly nodded at his question. It seemed like he was still oblivious to the current happening yet his mind is telling him to obey the girls hopeful wish.
"Your wish is my command."
Boom!
After the wish had ended, Darren git sucked inside the darkness where his heart belongs.

"The lamp disappear."
The little girl had her wish granted for a happy family, her father had stopped gambling and later worked hard to sustain their families needs, her mom stop cheating with another men and only focused her time on giving what her family needs and the family of three lived happily ever after.
"Thank you, Genie."
The little said while holding the hands of her parents.
