426: 1001 Nights: Djinning Up Some Trouble

🧞‍♂️Trying to meet the love of your life? Maybe ask for help from two genies trying to kill each other.🧞‍♂️

Even if you're not trying to meet the love of your life or, like the characters in today's story, actively trying to avoid meeting the love of your life because you really don't want to marry, you still might end up falling for someone anyway. And then maybe dying of a broken heart because that's apparently actually a thing.

😈 The Creature: Ebu Gogo

They will take your stuff and your children...and then ask the children how to cook themselves because no one wants to eat raw children, not even hairy monsters with (maybe) dog teeth.
