Magic

Shubham enters the stage with an enthusiastic round of applause. He scans the room, nodding slightly when he sees Aditi. Raising his arms to quiet the crowd, he places his palms together to thank them. Stepping over to the microphone, he addresses his fans.

"Ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to introduce the water torture cell. The original design came from the greatest magician of his time, Harry Houdini. October 29, 1914, is the first time he used it. "I'm going to read to you his words. "Although there is nothing supernatural about this, I am willing to forfeit the sum of 1,000 dollars to anyone who can prove that it is possible to obtain air inside of this torture cell when I am locked up in it in the regulated manner after it has been filled with water. Should anything go wrong when I'm locked up, one of my assistants walks through the curtain, ready to rush in, demolishing the glass, and allowing the water to flow out to save my life. I, Houdini, October the 29th, Nineteen Hundred and Fourteen, Flatbush, New York."

My words paint a world where memories resurface, both beautiful and haunting. It's up to you to decide if you want to reminisce or rewrite.
