Vanishing Act

 


Vanishing Act


By Craig Wilson


The smoke clears. I see I am in an assembly hall.

Funnily enough, I do not remember coming here.

There are loads of students sitting in their seats.

I am reminded that I am here to do some magic.

I see I am dressed as a magician. I simply shrug.

I do some basic magic tricks. I hear some yawns.

I don't impress the kids; they heckle me instead.

Angry, I decide to make all the bad kids vanish.

I somehow replace the kids with these toy penguins.

My phone’s alarm goes off, and I soon wake up.


The End


The above story is a loose adaptation of a dream I had. If there is anything you would like to ask, feel free to leave a comment, and thank you for reading.
