Excerpt:
The crackling. It’s what I heard first. Followed by the humming of a tune I didn’t recognize.
Mixtures of colors: red, orange, and yellow. It was the first image I saw once I opened my eyes.
Fire. Fire atop wood. No other colors surrounded it, as if the scene was randomly thrown in.
“It was randomly thrown in,” a voice replied.
I twirled around with my fists raised. “Who said that? Where are you?”
“Technically, I have the ability to be everywhere, but in this particular case, I’m in front of you.”
I rubbed my eyes. Thrice. All remained black.
“I can’t see you. Show yourself!”
The voice scoffed. “Demanding bugger, aren’t you? I’m not revealing myself until you act like you have some manners!”
I lowered my fists. Relaxed my hands. “Mr. Invisible Man, will you do me the honor of revealing yourself?”
“Maybe, but only if you eliminate the sarcasm.”
“You’re being utterly ridiculous!” I yelled.
“You’re the one who’s pressed for time. Not me. I can do this game all day.” The voice resumed its humming.
