Magic Tricks

One by one they disappear. Where'd they go? I was just talking to them. We were having a very cool conversation, about living and dieing. I wouldn't have such a topic by myself. So where'd they go? And why am I the only one who's seemed to notice?

She was one of those people who was always running a few minutes late for work. But today, today she had decided to make a new start. She arrived thirty minutes early, took the elevator the seventy floors up. She was just sitting down to her desk when she happened to look out the window and saw the plane heading in her direction. Before she even had the chance to run...the plane slammed into the wall. What use would Death have for her?

.....and then she disappeared.

He was the quarter back at Columbine High School. Popular and all that. Wasn't bad looking, and had gotten a full blown scholarship to his preferred college. He went to school one day, class was going to the library. He sat there reading the boring stuff when two kids bashed into the room guns held high. What use would Death have for him?

.....and then he disappeared.

She was in her limo. Lover next to her. Having a content evening before heading back home to pick up the two children she loved. Things were just starting to look up for her. She was no longer married to Prince Charles, and had left those things behind. The paparatze was chasing her, and she told the driver to loose them. And he accidently took the wrong turn. What use would Death have for her?

.....and then she disappeared.

So where'd they go? Why doesn't anyone seem to miss them? It's all a magic trick I guess. All they did was disappear. No one else seems to be affected by it. So I guess I shouldn't either. Like the movies I guess. They'll show up around the end, or jump outta some corner to scare you. Yeah, it's just a trick. Like magic.
