You are walking along the seashore on a normal, sunny day. The beach is remote and deserted, and so you have it to yourself.
You come across some kind of bottle, washed up by the tide. You pick it up and examine it. It's made of bronze and has an exotic shape to it. Eagar to find out what's inside, you tug at the stopper. Unfortunately it appears to be jammed tight. You pull and pull with all your might, then you grip the bottle between your feet and pull at the stopper with both hands. Suddenly it comes loose and you fall flat on your back as everything is obscured with a puff of purple smoke.
When it clears you find yourself plunged into shadow between a pair of massive dark-skinned feet, each larger than your entire body. Looking up, you see a long pair of baggy pantaloons and above that a massive bloated belly blocking out the sun.
"WHO RELEASES FATIMA FROM HER IMPRISOMENT?" comes a booming voice. Looks like you have unleased a genie, and a giant one at that!
