EXCERPT:
The dirt shifted beside me, and the end of the tunnel
opened. The crevice felt like it plucked me up in a whirlwind. In seconds, I
landed on the ground face first on the surface of whatever lay beyond the
tunnel. It smelled like nature after a storm. When I opened my eyes, I stared
down at my mud-covered hands. The darkness that I once thought would be my tomb
was now gone, and two low hanging moons lit the forest where I found myself.
Even though I had no idea where I was, the fact that I was out of the hole sent
a surge of relief that filled my entire being. I stood up, dusted off all the
mud I could, and looked back. Strangely, there was nothing but trees. As I
moved closer to the spot where I’d most certainly came from, all I saw was a
mirror that reflected the woods. An illusion. I touched its smooth surface,
tried to find the end of it but couldn’t. Another dead-end.
Before I could figure out what to do, I heard a voice
and spun around to confront it.
“What are you doing here?” I heard a man’s
voice growl, but I couldn’t see anyone. I looked around. He sounded like he was
only a few feet from me.
“Where are you?”
“First, tell me why you’re here?”
“I don’t know why I’m here. I’m lost, I think. I was
at a party, and while walking in the woods behind the house, I fell into a
hole. Now here I am. I have no idea what happened. Where am I?”
Silence.
Right square in front of me, he appeared out of thin
air. I blinked my eyes in disbelief. He seemed to be about my age and wore his
hat cocked to one side with suspenders atop a blue button-up and brown
trousers. It reminded me of Dashielle’s costume. I guess he could read the
amazement on my face, so he answered the question that my mind was trying to
form.
“Invisibility.
That’s all.”
