It was his tenth birthday and still early in the day. He didn’t have to be back home until his birthday party at six when all his cousins and other family members would get together. Demetri was playing down at Mertyl’s old place pretending to be a witch. The characters he assumed changed all the time but they usually had something to do with the supernatural or some horror movie he would sneak out of bed and watch.
Demetri stood outside, feeling nature around him; he was aware of the darkness in the far background of the sky and knew a storm was heading his way. Demetri, still stuck in the innocence of his youth taunted the storm. Concentrating hard on getting it to focus on him so he could fight back as he stood with his arms stretched out to his sides, head leaned back looking up into the sky. He yelled out, “I command you; I summon you to send forth the winds.”
To his delight the winds picked up a bit. Feeling the wind start to flow around him, blow through his hair, only enhanced the realness of what was supposed to be a make-believe play session.
“I command you to send forth lightening,” Demetri yelled with all his might, concentrating hard on controlling the lightening. Once again to his delight the skies started to light up with the flash of lightening. Then the thunder came. As all of these things started to come into play time, as if on his command, Demetri’s confidence grew in the character he had chosen for the day.
