I stood in the tall corn stalks, quietly watching Jenny. I loved watching her, smelling her wafting perfume. She couldn’t see me, but I could see her. I slowed my breathing so she couldn’t hear me. I crouched down to remain hidden until I was ready to ambush. I was grinding my teeth, patiently waiting. My fists clenched, I was almost ready. “Charlie, come out from hiding. Dinners ready,” she shouted. I jumped out and yelled “boo” loudly. “Oh, Charlie, you scared me. You’re such a silly child,” she said. “One day, I’ll really scare you,” I said, smiling deviously.

Magic Chalk
I was scribbling with chalk, entranced in a spell and another portal opened. I was transported to world ninety two. I still haven’t found my way home, but have made several friends along the way. I’ve discovered several new sentient intellectual species, learned their language and technological advancements, and now a few of them follow me from world to world. When I eventually find my way back to Earth, I’ll have an army of aliens to advance the planet. World ninety two was mostly desert and behemoth sand worms. I’ll learn to ride them and take one with me.
