A short story

Keith's Ramblings

‘

Just look at him. You’d need more than magic to breath life back into that broken soul. 

Abra Dabra was famed for performing tricks on stage, including one in which he put his precious wife and able assistant Nesta in a box, and she’d appear to disappear.

However, the last time he attempted it, it seems something went wrong because disappear she did, literally. Thank goodneses it wasn’t the stunt where he pretended to cut her in half with a chain saw, that would have been bloody awful in both senses of the word!

The weeks and months have dragged by since that day and there’s still no news of her whereabouts. Perhaps she’s a ghost, floating in the breeze. Who can tell? 

Poor Abra.

This week’s words at The Sunday Whirl are – magic back broken nest seems drag news breeze life ghost need tell

    Hmmm, something’s up with this, I wonder if maybe she was tired of being the assistant and made herself disappear. Nice story!

    I think the chances are better she had someone waiting out front in a fast car….. Lovely tale, Keith.
