I've been sharing from my soon-to-be-released short story, The Opal Ring, in which Jasmine is trying to escape her evil uncle with the help of a Jinn, and her father's magic show contract with a Vegas talent scout. When we left out, the talent scout had just granted her father the coveted contract, and Jasmine is about to find out what she really owes the Jinn for granting her wishes. 

“What?” Her beautiful sweet mother had fed the Jinn souls? Sinful souls like her uncle’s? “The Jinn killed momma?”
            “She just couldn’t make herself available to all those hideous, evil perverts any more, the kind of dark souls the Jinn savors. She would never have led the Jinn to her own beloved daughter. I saw the ring on her finger when I closed her casket myself!” He staggered back, clutching at his chest.
            “Father!” Jasmine rushed forward, grabbing his arm. “What is it?”
            “Just out of breath. Nothing,” he said, gasping. But then his knees buckled, and he fell to the floor, doubled over in pain.
