Horror of Horrors!
"Hoo boy, that was close," you declare. "Too bad I dropped the Disappearing Powder. At least I didn't get any on you!" You smile at Will.
But he doesn't answer. Instead, he's frantically whipping his head around. "Where did you go?" he calls. "Come on, this isn't funny!"
"I'm right here!" you reply. He doesn't seem to hear you. You wave a hand right in front of his face and gasp.
When you jerked the box of Disappearing Powder out of the way of your sneeze, you must have spilled some on yourself.
Your heart thumps hard in your invisible chest. You glance down. The box of Disappearing Powder landed upside down on the sidewalk. You notice some lettering on the bottom of the box. You bend down and read the label:
VISIBILITY PROBLEMS? Try our patented Reappearing Spray in handy aerosol cans. Order direct from Sorcery Enterprises. Call our 800 number or visit www.sorcenter.com.
You shake your head in frustration.
Will stares in all directions. "Where are you? Quit hiding," he pleads.
"I'm right here!" you shout. He still doesn't hear you.
Wait. If MagnifiCAT has Disappearing Powder in the suitcase, maybe there's Reappearing Spray too!
You notice a spray can, half hidden by a wad of colorful silk scarves. All you can see of the label is,
...RING
...RAY
You reach to shove the scarves aside to get a better look. Your hand passes right through the scarves. You try again. The same thing happens.
Now what?
Will! You straighten up. All you can do is shout, "Will! Quick --- use the Reappearing Spray on me!"
Will gazes around.
You try again. "Will! The spray --- use the spray!"
He frowns. "I must be going crazy," he mutters. "First my best friend vanishes in front of my eyes. Now I'm starting to hear voices in my head."
Maybe Will DOES pick up your thoughts a little.
"Okay, that's it!" Will shouts. "Your little game of hide-and-seek is over. I'm going home!" He shudders. "This is too weird," he mutters. "And I don't want that magician to find me."
He reaches for the suitcase.
NO, you think. DON'T GO! You grit your teeth and try to think at him as hard as you can.
THE SPRAY! USE THE SPRAY ON ME!
Will glances around and scratches his head.
You try again. WILL! USE THE SPRAY! USE THE SPRAY!
Do you believe other people can read your mind?
