I blinked.
Then blinked again.
'Am I dreaming?'
I rubbed my eyes.
Then stared at Maxi.
He still held the saw.
I then proceeded to pinch myself to check if I'm dreaming.
It hurt.
A lot.
'No, no I'm not.' I continued to stare at Maxi, still holding the saw in his right hand. 'Why does Maxi have a saw?!'
I don't recall any magic tricks dealing with sharp tools. Unless Monsieur Houdin didn't teach me those tricks for a reason.
But I think I knew what that reason was, because the next thing I knew. I was already running over to Maxi with my bag in my hand. My heart began pacing as I ran straight for Maxi at full speed.
Maxi held the saw high up into the air, stating. "Now for my grand finale! I'll saw my arm in half!"
The moment I heard him say that, I managed to get over to Maxi time in using my bag to slam the saw out of his grasp without regret.
"Are you crazy?!" I yelled at him, "Why are you trying to saw your arm off?!"
