*You Watching TV P.O.V*It's the end of the day, and you're home alone. Your parents are out somewhere. And they won't be back 'till morning. You decide to watch your favorite show. "The Magnificent Magician." You turn the TV on and switch it to the right channel. There is a different magician on the stage today but you don't think much of it. As you keep watching you notice the magician uses a lot of fire in his tricks, but they're good tricks and the audience is cheering louder than ever, so you ignore it.
Closer to the end of the show the magician starts acting strange, he starts laughing in between acts and smiling creepily at the audience...then at the camera. Suddenly the TV screen turns black. The next Thing You See is the magicians face right in front of the camera barely lit by a singular match, with a grin stretching across his face, ear to ear. The next thing you know he blows out the match and it shows the stage with the audience in front of it again...but something isn't right, you look closer at the audience...in horror you stare at them, some have gun shots in there head, some have knives still fresh with blood stabbed into there heart, head, side, ETC..., some even have strangle wires brutally slid around there throats. As you stare in horror the magician walks back up on stage and takes a bow, still looking at the camera.
*You In Your House P.O.V*
You quickly turn off the TV wondering if you turned on the wrong channel, "No, you thought, I watch that channel everyday it was the right channel" Confused and terrified at what you just watched you walk into the kitchen to get a snack and splash some water on your face...but then you start to hear the magician, almost as if there were speakers in your house replaying all his acts and the cheers from the audience. You think your just hallucinating but you tun upstairs to your room anyway.
You slip into the covers and try to take your mind off of what just happened, but then you feel a cold shiver go down your spine. You open your eyes instinctively, just to see the magician standing over you, a match in front of his face with that same malicious grin. Before you could scream he blows the match out, and the last thing you heard was "Thank you, I hope you enjoyed my show".
