Now I am so ready!
Or, at least, I think I’m ready. Come to think of it, I’m a little worried. I gnaw the back of my thumb.
“It—it is almost dinnertime, you know,” I say, stammering. “Won’t my mom and dad worry if I suddenly disappear?” I swallow hard. “Maybe we shouldn’t go.”
Posey waves me off. “Not to worry!” he says. “No one will even know you’re gone. Time in the World of Make-Believe is imaginary, so it takes no real time at all. Plus, when someone wants you back, all they have to do is call your name.”
It sounds safe enough, so I stick both thumbs up. “In that case . . . RACE YOU TO THE DOOR!”
Posey runs, but I grab hold of the knob first. One turn, and SWOOSH! My bedroom is gone!
