I woke up hearing the worst sound ever. My dad was smashing a cowbell.
"Rise and shine, Mike, ready to master invisibility for 3 minutes?" Asked Dad.
"Yes I am!" I answered.
"Great-Grandpa here will be teaching you this time." Explained Dad.
" Yes yes, I'll take it from here." Said Great-Grandpa. "Take this." Great-Grandpa said handing me a teddy bear.
"What do I do with this?" I asked.
"You hug it, tightly." Replied Great-Grandpa. I squeezed it as hard as I could and eventually purple and white sparks came out and everything I saw was faded. I stopped squeezing it. My vision came back to normal. "Now very good, lets see if you can do it without mr teddy." Explained Great-Grandpa. I squeezed my fists instead this time and the same thing happened white and purple sparks came out (of my hands this time) and my vision became faded. I could just see Great-Grandpa set a 3 minute timer and after a while I heard him say "okay you can return to my vision again!" I could already feel my hands solidifying, "one more impossibility, c'mon Mike you can do this!" I thought.
" good job, kiddo, now all ya gotta do is kill someone, who's it gonna be?" Asked Dad
" uhhhhhh ummmmmm, I wanna kill, ummm" I scratched my chin. It was a hard decision after all there is nowhere else you can go after the afterlife.
" you know what, Kill me." Said Dad.
"What, NO!" I screamed "I don't wanna lose you, not again."
"I'm the one who got you into this mess, I'm the one who wanted you to stay, I should be the one to go." Announced Dad. I ran over and gave him a hug,
One, last, hug.
"Kay kiddo, now go and grab that bucket over there, do it for daddy." Said Dad. I waddled over to the bucket tears in my eyes. I walked over with the bucket in my hand. " goodbye, kiddo." Dad painfully smiled. I could tell the tears were about to come, I swung the bucket backwards and when it came forwards the water leaped out of the bucket, obliterating Dad.
"Goodbye." I said tears coming out of my eyes, more tears than the last time he died. Great-Grandpa came over and hugged me, like I was the the invisibility teddy bear, but just a little bit softer, just right.
I watched my dads body as his body disappeared and I looked at my hands as they became denser and when I walked back to the house it was night time and the moon was still, abnormally still.
