He finally had the house to himself! But for how long though, was anyone's guess... Constantly being at his uncle's side for almost 2 solid weeks was just too much to bear and time was running out! School was just around the corner; Summer almost over. He had been waiting for this chance for almost the entire time. Before being dropped off, his mother had explained that her brother was a bit on the eccentric side, often misunderstood. The most intriguing thing, however, was learning about his uncle's past as a magician. And now, here he was - alone... "Uncle away, the mice will play!", he thought to himself. Up two flights of old, creaky stairs immediately brought him into his uncle's "off-limits" bedroom. Yet, his anticipation waned a bit when the opened door revealed very little to explore - a bed, nightstand, chest of drawers, and a standing closet. His thoughts were interrupted by a soft, distant hum coming from the closet. "Jackpot!" he mumbled with a mischievous smile.
