A short and amusing story from Robert Louis Stevenson - obvious from the title it is an Imp in a Bottle - a wish-granting Imp and a bottle with some catches - one being if you die in possession of the bottle you are damned to dwell in hell foe ever more, the other that you must sell the bottle to the next owner for less that which you acquire it.
Keawe, our Hawaiian protagonist buys the bottle from a man with a fabulous house and plenty of money, but who has grown old and must be rid of the bottle (the only thing the imp cannot control is aging of the owner).
There are various twists and turns in this short read, but mostly just a quick, fun experience.
4.5 stars
