My entry into another one of Mike Singleton's A.K.A MikeyDred's marvellous challenges. The task was to create a piece of micro-fiction, inspired by the picture above.
'Finished! Can I get down now?' Jack asked hopefully.
'No it's not,’ said his mother, glancing at his picture before turning her attention to folding laundry. ‘Finish your homework.’
'Yes, it is.'
'How is it finished? You've only drawn half a man.'
'That's because he's disappeared.'
'Disappeared?'
'Disappeared. Vanished. Poof!'
'I know what disappeared means. How has he disappeared?’
'He's walking through the magic gate, look.'
'The magic gate?'
'Magic gate, fairy door, pathway to the underworld... great mystical teleporter to the world of flying pigs; the possibilities are endless.'
‘You don’t know where it goes?’ His mother raised her eyebrow.
‘I don’t need to know. That’s the beauty of it.’ He beamed, raising his picture to get a better look. ‘It’s perfect.’
