AI and Genie

AI and Genie copyrighted by Eric Wood in 2026   You rub an old lamp you find and out comes a genie called "AI".  "AI" says he will grant 3 wishes.      1) Your first wish is for a grand house. You don't see the results. Genie says it will be done in 100 years since you did not specify when.       2) Your second wish is to live 100 years later. You seeing flying cars, etc. but no house. You don't see the results. Genie points out that house is microscopic since you did not specify size.    3) Your third wish is to be microscopic. So you enter the house and see that the house is fabulous. Then the cow steps on the house crushing it and kills you. Genie says I probably would have specified that the house is to be indestructible.
