Every night, Rey found himself locked in an endless battle with insomnia. Recently, he discovered the reason—he was suffering from a chronic illness. The diagnosis was grim, with the shadow of death lurking closer than he had ever imagined. Hope began to slip through his fingers like sand. He wasn’t suicidal, but he was losing the will to fight.

Then, one ordinary day, something extraordinary happened.

As dusk settled and silence filled the room, a soft wisp of blue smoke began curling out of the spout of a Chinese teapot he had recently purchased. Startled, Rey backed away as the smoke thickened and formed into a shape. A deep, echoing voice filled the room:

"Make a wish, my master. I am here to serve you. But be warned—there is only one wish. Once made, it cannot be undone."

Rey didn’t hesitate. “I want to be healthy. I want to live.”

The voice rumbled again, this time more solemnly:

"Your wish comes with a price. The universe must remain in balance. You have 365 days to find a reason to live. If you do, their source of life will become yours. If you don’t… you will die."

Now, the countdown begins.

Will Rey find his reason to live?
Or will time run out?

Teapot Of Days

"The People vs. Genie (a.k.a. The Cake Thief)"

📍Location: Rey's bathtub📍Time: Now, but somehow also the 1800s📍Judge: Her Honorable Majesty Beans, presiding in a powdered wig and tiny monocle📍Bailiff: A sock with a badge drawn on in crayon📍Audience: 3 plush toys, a confused spider, and one glowing teacup

Opening Scene:The camera pans across the "courtroom" (which is just the bathroom with dramatic red lighting). Beans sits on a stack of law books on the toilet lid, her velvet robe flowing, crown sparkling under a ceiling light.

GENIE (standing in the tub):"Your Honor, I plead absolutely, undeniably, unapologetically—NOT GUILTY. That cake was emotionally unstable. I was doing it a favor."

BEANS:mrrrrrp (translated by closed captions as: "Proceed.")

Prosecutor (also Genie, wearing fake glasses):"Ladies, gentlemen, and non-binary furniture—my client, Genie, STOLE the last bite of emotional support cake. He did not ask permission. He did not offer nap rights in exchange. He simply… devoured."

Defense (also Genie, but with a mustache taped to his forehead):"Objection. I was hungry. Also the cake whispered my name. Also Beans said it was fine."

Beans:Meow(Translation: I said nothing. I was napping.)

Exhibit A: A blurry photo of Genie mid-bite.Exhibit B: An empty plate.Exhibit C: A paw print in frosting — "possibly Beans' signature," Genie argues.Exhibit D: The spoon is missing. "Suspicious," Genie mumbles. "Very spoon-icious."

Beans narrows her eyes. Slaps the gavel (a breadstick) twice.

WITNESS #1: The Teacup(Says nothing. It's a teacup.)

WITNESS #2: Sockington, the sock internSockington flops onto the bathtub rim. Genie whispers, "You're doing amazing, sweetie."

WITNESS #3: BeansShe licks her paw. Stares directly at the camera.The audience collectively gasps. One of the plush toys faints.

Genie (back in full blazer mode):"In conclusion, the cake was consumed not with malice, but with spiritual necessity. I was one with the frosting. I WAS the frosting."

Beans slowly lowers her sunglasses.

Beans raises a single paw.The spider drops a glittery envelope from the ceiling.

"We, the honorable court of Beans, find the defendant… GUILTY OF CAKE CRIMES."

Gasps. Thunder. A kazoo plays the law and order dun dun.

Sentence?One week of community service: Genie must clean every litter box within a 5-mile radius — with his toothbrush. Beans' orders.

Final Scene:Genie is in an apron that says "Laws and Paws" scrubbing a glittery mess.

Beans naps peacefully atop a throne made of sentencing documents.

Genie grumbles into the camera:"I'm appealing. To who? I don't know. The Council of Snacks?"

The camera fades out to a slow zoom on Beans' smug little face.
