Genie at Work

She glared at the walls of her prison.

A monstrous genie burst from her eyes.

He seized a hammer and struck the wall with violent, repeated blows.

The stone split.

He struck again.

Air rushed violently through the breach.

Everything shattered, and a violent whirlwind swept away the genie, the hammer, and his cavernous laughter.
