The Old Magician
Sometimes it's better to leave things alone.
Johnny was a local thief who thought he had found the perfect mark. An old magician named Mr. Jones, who lived in an old, dilapidated shack. Johnny was sure he could easily steal some of the old man's stuff and sell it profit.
Johnny broke into Mr. Jones' shack one night and began rummaging through his belongings. Suddenly, he heard a strange noise and turned around to see Mr. Jones standing behind him with a sinister smile.
Before Johnny could react, Mr. Jones pulled out a wand and cast a spell on him. Johnny found himself in a strange and terrifying world. Mr. Jones appeared before him, cackling wickedly.
Mr. Jones revealed that he was a real magician of his time and had retired to this shack to avoid being bothered by people like Johnny. As for Johnny's punishment, Mr. Jones would teach him a lesson.
Nobody knows what happened to Johnny, but some people say they can sometimes hear someone screaming at night near the house of Mr. Jones.
The police have been there many times but can't find the source of the screaming.
As for Mr. Jones, he can often be seen talking to someone who isn't there.
