Short short, based on my up coming novel.

I found an incredible blog on the Internet called Rach Writes.  I think the reason I enjoyed it so much is because she had a writing prompt for a short short that involved goldfish.  I LOVE goldfish!  Maybe because they are orange?  Anyway, here is my take on that writing prompt (99 words, not counting title).

The characters in this short short, Sam and Mr. Bigalow, are from a novel I am currently writing.  I thought it would be neat to show an isolated moment of the two of them interacting.  This short short gave me a chance to see another side of Sam.  I am proud of him.  He can be kinda wussy sometimes.  Anyhow, here is my story.  BTW, I love feedback.

Escape!  The Magician and His Pet

The goldfish bowl teetered on the edge of the work bench.  Sam grasped the bowl and plunged his hand into the water.  The goldfish felt slimy in his hand.  Quickly, he dropped it into the potion.

Fireworks exploded.  Sam fell to the floor in a heap.

Mr. Bigalow heard the noise and ran into the room.  He kneeled by Sam’s side.

“Did you try another escape spell?  You do realize your spells will never work.  I’ll never let you leave me.”

Mr. Bigalow cast an enchantment and fixed everything.  Sam looked up.  The goldfish was back in the bowl.
