I was doing well. I performed several card tricks to the audiences amazement. I got awed for my disappearing and reappearing act. I wowed the audience with sword swallowing. Then I called who I thought was my assistant on stage to saw me in half. I got in the box and she locked me in and took off her mask. “Wait, you’re my ex wife” I said. She smiled and took out a real saw. “Help, this isn’t a trick!” I screamed. The audience laughed with joy as she actually cut me in half, thinking it was all an act.

Doing a Dumb Thing
I couldn’t help myself. I used again. The voices in my head kept telling me just one more time. I tried to ignore them but they kept getting louder and louder. So I did. I put the needle in my arm and overdosed. How could I have been so foolish. I woke up surrounded by a team of doctores. “You’re lucky to be alive, sir,” one of them said. I looked in the mirror. Time to get sober for good, I thought. I can’t let this happen again. I have kids to take care of.
