Jinni

What I like most about this is picturing a jinni musing you

to die? It's the gift of choice and knowledge, it's is the wish or the death?
release from the thickening suspense.jinnis delight in harming people, can they kill or is this just torment?


Do you want to die quick
like the lightning-crack of dynamite
or asteroid impact? Nice imagery
Do you want your body to remaingood question cause dynamite and asteroid would leave no remain s
intact in hope of resurrection—intact in hope, how bout intact, hoping for
maybe heart attack or Anthrax? Why wish for something that draws out the pain? 
Do you want the fame you didn't have
in life, a death for the Guinness books I like this hadn't thought of it as an option, like Darwin Awards
and a story gone viral?

Do you want your death to dress
your story in white, bookends of goodness, white good
cloaking your putrid life Why putrid? Cause the jinni talking and all humans are putrid?
in fragrant funeral sheets? Good option niceimagery 
The Jinni can grant you absolution: nice line

save a Hybrid full of babies
from a Humvee full of pedophiles I like the exaggerated heroic action of goodness
with twisted, pointy mustaches but these next two lines could be another option of ridiculous heroism or bizarre circumstance because it's unclear who has the mustaches.

The Jinni is an ifrit—
it can make things happen. I can't picture an ifrit, I looked it up and can't put this together, though I like the word ifrit but this line 'It can make things happen' is pretty chilling on its own.

Some people choose to simply
fall asleep;
they take a breath,
then exhale.nice alternative and change in tone


Most fall into silence, hoping very suspenseful
that the Jinni is the one who decides I like the displacement of responsibility
whether dying must always result in death. And the ending is like a super twist.  Cause really we are all dying already.  So this ending makes me teething the hoping for resurrection earlier , cause this is almost a repeat, 
Anyways, I enjoyed the read  thanks!
