Silence fell as the Great Poodini took the stage for his famous vanishing act. And with a wave of the magician's hands and a muttered incantation, the audience disappeared, save for one fortunate soul who had gone to use the facilities.

You're seldom wrong m'dear. It is indeed one of my famous miniatures. I think you might need a slightly smaller frame for this one.

I think the first thing I ever read of yours was a zapfic. This one is, as usual, fabulous!
I think only people who have tried to write one of these can really appreciate them. I have to get back to my zapfics!

Yes, you must. And you're so right. It's not as easy as we make it look;)

It's brilliant! It's like being a poet, discarding all excess verbiage to distill the story to its essence.

Love it!!!
Years ago on a family vacation to Yellowstone, waiting for Old Faithful, one of my husband's brothers needed the facilities. OF COURSE the whole family escorted him and of course they missed seeing Old Faithful go off.

I love the twist that by ducking into the restroom, someone avoids a disaster.

Hahaha, Isn't that just typical! There's an amusing old advert for Kit-Kat with a similar scenario. If you haven't seen it before it might give you a smile.

Glad I could finally help you in a tiny way. That time change always messes me up for a few days. Ours begins this weekend.
