One's memory does very strange things. I had recalled that Faust made the homunculus to carry out researches and to bring him stuff and so on. Just now I read that somebody else -- Wagner by name -- made the homunculus, and that Meohistopheles employed it to -- well, it gets kind of vague here. Faust's true and virtuous love for Margaret is messing up Mephistopheles' plan. So the homunculus introduces Faust to Helen of Troy. The homunculus has ideas of its own, too.

Anyway, my guy is most certainly not that homunculus. He's more like a genie that is not a djinn, -- I mean a traditional djinnis a demon prince thing that is imprisoned and bargains his magical powers for freedom. My guy was made for this purpose.

That's enough. I'm going to go write at least 500 more words and then tile the wall above the breakfast nook.
