The Acolyte Learns To Relax

            The Acolyte Learns To Relax

“This will take you to other realms.” The wizard said.

“The trip won’t be just in your head.”

The acolyte looked at the drink with suspicion.

“This may be too much for my inhibitions.”

“I have drank the potion many times myself.”

“To understand its power you must know how it felt.”

With shaking hands the acolyte downed the drink.

Suddenly, he disappeared in just a wink.

The wizard sat and read while waiting.

The acolyte’s return, he was anticipating.

In about 2 hours the acolyte popped into view.

His clothes were wrinkled and his hair was askew.

“Did you have fun in the alternate realm?”

‘Holy shit!!”—– He was over whelmed.

The wizard knew just what he had  seen & done.

He had gone there often just for fun.

“The Kit Kat Club is quite a place.”

“I’ll say.” the acolyte said with a red face.

“I sent you there to relieve some tension.”

“You seemed a little uptight before, did I mention?”

“Well, your plan worked. I am well relaxed now.”

The wizard knew that would be the outcome somehow.

“Tomorrow we will get down to business, O.K.?”

“Sure, because I have already had ‘the business’ today.”
