The Visibility Trick

<p>Absent-minded alien professor-type Mr. Doberman had established a nice little niche for himself at Oswald Academy School of Magic. One he was quite fond of thank you very much. You see: he is singularly gifted at the finicky notorious Invisibility Trick an advanced Mindful Art. Most recently he used it to become a homebody in Paris North Dakota - a dangerous impractical place ... of boxy metal deathtraps and uncouth porcelain chairs. Of compassion and chaos. Of tiny bipeds who make untenable demands.</p><p>Thank goodness that experiment is over!</p><p>Except two Earthlings in particular keep bleeding into his less fettered thoughts. Uncoordinated little rascals though they are they seem to have found a cavity in the upper left-hand quadrant of Mr. Doberman's torso. Which is weird. Because that area has never felt vacant before...</p><p>Now before the closing of the fist Mr. Doberman must answer a question he would once have found absurd. Torn between the world he knows and an incarceration of his own design will he risk magic-perhaps expiration-to become a husband and a father again?<br> </p><p>An intriguing piece of experimental literature that made me re-examine what unconventional means... the book had me thinking about it well after I had finished reading.</p><p>-P.G. Sundling author of None of the Above series.</p>
