THE MAGIC LIFE - A Novel Philosophy

by Ace Starry




The music starts and I can hear the master of ceremonies. Something is different here, too. "Either this man will have to escape, learn to fly, or drop two-hundred feet to his death." I know this voice, it’s the magician; the MC is Maximillion Vi. "James, you’re the one," he laughs as he engages the lever which starts the crane in motion.

"Wait, I know this dream; I don’t get out. I don’t escape! I fall!" I am frantically shouting, "No! No! Stop, stop!" But the music becomes too loud, overpowering my cry for help as the sound of the crane’s engine kicks in. My ankles are jerked suddenly, and I am hoisted rapidly into the sky. In a panic, I twist back and forth upside down, trying to free myself from the restraint. Higher, higher. Too late, the rope snaps and I am falling, "Aaaagggghhh!!"

Next thing I knew, I hit the bed again with a thud. My heart still racing – what a nightmare. The images faded fast before I could piece them together exactly. However, this time I did remember most of the dream – something to do with escaping from the straitjacket, falling, and the magician telling me, "You’re the one."
