The story of when Olive, a genie, gets tired of bowing to the twisted and corrupted wishes of her masters. Her last master, Robert, gets caught at sea in a storm of her devising while considering how to be rid of his wife. When he calls on Olive for help escaping the storm - to use his last wish - it's too late to save his ships or his crews by natural means. Robert chooses to save himself. Olive confesses the storm was a ploy to free his wife of his evil. She leaves Robert a small crate to float away from the ship as it sinks, warning him the currents will take him farther from Bermuda. Robert challenges her, saying her vessel will be lost at sea forever. Olive knows, preferring eternal solitude to the corrupt human company she's kept. As dawn shines on the calm sea and the debris of the wreck, Robert is determined to overcome the challenge Olive has presented. In the corner of his eye, Robert sees he's not alone. The grey fin of a shark sinks below the surface and Robert pities the next soul that ever meets Olive.
