After more than a hundred years inside the lamp, I was finally at peace. I was sewing fabrics to make new clothes, humming a song to myself. After so much time, I ended up completely getting used to life as a woman. You know, they say gender is something you are born with, not something you choose. When I heard other people say that in the past, I didn’t really believe it; as a heterosexual man, I spent a long time believing in nonsense. Until I ended up turning into a woman and discovered the reality firsthand. Over the years, there were moments when I tried to be into women, but I just couldn't. However, with men, it was different... and that was when I realized I had truly become a heterosexual woman.
After singing a beautiful song and finishing the clothes, I decided to read a romance novel. These stories are really good. I read calmly, taking my time, and enjoyed eating a grape — a taste I had grown habituated to a long time ago. But looking at everything I had built inside here, I missed freedom. That was something I still hadn't overcome, even after a century. After all, this place was nothing more than an eternal VIP prison. I remembered how different everything felt in the first few days: the weight on my chest, the different height, the long hair... things that today are a part of who I am.
"Wow, I’ve changed so much!"
As the decades passed, my desires changed too. At first, I only wanted freedom. Then, I thought about exploring the world. Later, when I was more settled and thought about finding that special someone, I began to long for a family. Perhaps the person who will set me free? Who knows... One day, they will come.
After reading, I decided to draw. I traced each line slowly, with care; I learned over time that if I mess up a stroke, I can adjust it in another way. Afterwards, I went to the piano and played a few songs softly. When I finished, I relaxed and found myself thinking a bit more: what is the world outside like? I know it’s a desert, but is there anything more beyond the sand?
Before I could wonder any further, the sound echoed: someone was rubbing the lamp. I got so excited that the joy showed instantly on my face.
Suddenly, I felt my body being pulled outside — a sensation I hadn't experienced in a long, long time.
