10 September, 2023
I was behind the curtain. My turn was yet to come. My role was that of a wizard, the wizard of great America in 2900 BC.
I had to dance and sing with a group of ten.
The curtain rose, I stepped forward. There I stood five feet above the ground frozen.
The other nine encouraged me.
I felt a surge of confidence in me and there I was singing as loud as I can, waltzing away.
My big performance was a success.
All thanks to my fellow wizards!
