THE MAGICIAN’S DILEMMA
YOUR OWN MAGIC WORDS.
You swell with courage
Standing on the step stool
Staring down at the Box
And strange words of passion
Explode from your trembling lips
“WHOEVER YOU ARE
LET MY FRIEND GO
YOU CAN’T KEEP HIM!
OLIVER
IF YOU CAN HEAR ME
COME TO THIS SOUND
NOW!”
You scream
You slap the Box
With all your might
You wait
Listening
You hear something
Muffled
From inside the Box
It opens violently
As Oliver bursts out
Crying
Hugging you
You smile
Tears welling in your eyes
“I THOUGHT I LOST YOU.”
