“OBSERVENT” by Rhonda Allen

Submitted to Contest #47

“Can You See the Magic” by Rhonda Allen

Submitted to Contest #42

What do you do, where do you go, when your entire life becomes disillusioned and all your dreams disappear?They could still hear the audience clapping and cheering loudly, even though they had already exited the stage in their usual fashion of a ballet like dance and synchronized royal wave. Tobias had said from the beginning that making the departure as memorable as the show was very important, it was a way of keeping the audience connected to them. He was so right, thought Olivia, but then again everything he did for t...
