Notably: Scott Spradley, the Flagler Beach city commissioner and attorney, took that shot last Tuesday as a genie was let out of a bottle for a little sweep over Flagler Beach. You can make out the genie’s eyes staring down the near shore and wondering why, despite his colossal presence (or was the genie nonbinary?), the ocean refused to acknowledge him with more than a bare wavelet or two, its placidity as good as a flip of the finger. The genie came and went without further ado but for that Thousand and One Night illustration.

I left him and hurried home, where I found a man at my door with this note: “After you came to see and speak with us as you did, we went—once you had left—to the Caliph and explained that your current circumstances had forced you to endure the humiliation of making a request; he then asked us to see that you received a million dirhams from the Treasury. We pointed out to him that while this sum would suffice to repay your creditors and settle your debts, it would not be enough to maintain your standard of living. The Caliph therefore allocated another three hundred thousand dirhams for you, and each of us contributed a million from our own personal funds, bringing the total to three million three hundred thousand dirhams—an amount that will help you restore your affairs and get back on your feet.”
See the lengths to which the generosity of great men goes—may God have mercy upon them!
