Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Bottle Imp is a short story written in 1891 by Robert Louis Stevenson.Keawe, a poor native Hawaiian, buys a bottle from a wealthy elderly gentleman that reputedly contains an imp that can grant the owner their every desire.However, there's one catch: the bottle itself is cursed, and if the owner dies bearing it, his or her soul will be taken to Hell. To make matters worse, the bottle cannot be thrown out or given away because it will immediately return to them. The only way to get rid of it is to sell the bottle at a lower price than the owner originally paid for.When Keawe makes his wishes, he experiences firsthand the benefits and the drawbacks of a wish granted. He must find a buyer who can take it before his soul is doomed forever. | |

| The Bottle Imp / int_275773bd | comment |
Curse Escape Clause: One of the instructions with the bottle is that to get rid of it (and avoid dooming your soul), it must be sold to a potential buyer at a lower price than the previous owner paid. | |
