Ö¥╣ Can you write a little story that includes these lines from a song?
1. Ask directions from a genie in a bottle of Jim Beam,
and she lies to you .
2. While you’re on your knees, you might as well be praying.
3. But the good news is…….. there’s angels everywhere
4. Well I’ve been deep down in that darkness.
5. Use the needle of your compass to sew up your broken heart.
6. That’s when you learn the truth
BONUS PHRASE: If You’re Going Through Hell

I pushed open the door to The Smoker, a seedy, run-down bar in a seedy, run-down part of downtown. The light pierced the darkness inside and I could see him sitting at the end of the bar. I walked over and took the bar stool next to his.
He’d already had a few. His head hovered about half-mast above his drink. “Ask directions for a genie in a bottle of Jim Beam, and she lies to you,” I murmured to him.
He snapped out of his stupor and lifted his head to look at me. Word was that Bat Boy had been here at The Smoker every day for the past several weeks. Sure, when he first heard that the Weekly World News was folding, he tried to find another job, but there were few for men of his. . . qualifications. How was he to find another job? He’s been too closely identified with the Weekly World News to work for another tabloid.
“Listen, kid, ya gotta go out and find another gig,” I pleaded with him. “Use the needle of your compass to sew up your broken heart, and go see the Enquirer. If you’re going through hell, the only thing that’ll pick you up is to find another job and be useful. Besides, America will ALWAYS have a soft spot for a creature that’s half bat and half boy. We THRIVE on unlikely beings. Look at Sasquatch.”
“I used to know Sasquatch,” he muttered, his voice raspy because of his chain-smoking. “I’ve even run into Elvis a few times in the last couple of years. I coulda been big. I ran for Governor of California in 2003 — just got bumped by that over-grown Austrian body builder. I even had a musical in New York and London. Now, I can’t get a job as a WalMart greeter.”
“Well, I’ve been deep down in that darkness,” I reminded him.
“But the good news is. . . . there’s angels everywhere. While you’re on your knees, you might as well be praying. C’mon. Let’s go dust you off and see if we can’t find you a decent agent.”
When you’re down in your cups, that’s when you learn the truth. I took Bat Boy to Robert Hall and we bought him a nice new suit, with two pairs of pants. We spiffed up his resume some, and then I made a few calls, pulled a few strings, and got him an interview with the same agent who’s handling the space alien who abducted the lady with the potato that resembled Mother Theresa.
