The Invisible Boy (Complete) 11/20/2025
Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2025 11:52 am
Ugh
I keep trying to make Magic my one and only focus these days, but as we move passed Halloween in the main story, I am compelled to put out a little Halloween one-off.
I donât know where this will lead, and donât want it to drag on, but this is an idea that is itching to come out soâŚ
Happy Halloween
The Invisible Boy
âCome on! Just pick something already!â 16 year old Meryl begs her little brother as they sift through the costume selection at the local drugstore.
âYou didnât find anything at the place in the mall. You didnât find anything at the party store. You didnât find anything at the THREE different âSpirit Halloweenâ pop-ups! Just. Pick. SOMETHING!â Meryl is reaching a breaking point with her 12 year old little brother, Jack.
âBut none of these are scary⌠or cool.â Jack smacks a cheap skull mask from the rack.
It clatters to the floor.
âLook, twerp! I donât care if you have a costume or not! Itâs not like youâre going trick or treating anyway!â Meryl scolds.
âBut why do I have to go to a dumb party with you and your friends?!â Jack moans.
âBecause mom said I canât go unless I take you with me!â Meryl softens. âBut hey, Sally, Christa, Henna and Fiona will be there.â She says, enticingly.
Jack perks up.
Those are 4 of the prettiest girls in his class!
Especially Henna!
But Jack refuses to give in so easy.
âI donât want to! I want to go trick or treating! Mom says this could be my last year!â He pouts.
âUgh! Yeah, âcause youâre almost a teenager! Dork!â Meryl teases.
She softens again.
âCome on. Think about it. Youâll be the only boy there, with me and 10 other girls.â She smirks. âAnd 6 of them are in highschool, like me.â
Jack gulps and his body trembles in a strange mix of cringe, excitement and nerves.
It looks incredibly awkward.
Meryl gasps.
All at once, sheâs hit the most devious, incideous idea ever.
Jack has always been a little âoffâ.
Not stupid, or anything like that.
Just, for lack of a better word, âgullibleâ.
PAINFULLY gullible.
Like, takes things completely literally, believes in any story heâs told, and LOVES magic and the paranormal!
DEFINITELY on the spectrum, but only in special circumstances.
Unfortunately for him, his older sister has become a pro at manipulating him.
And tonight, sheâd be a pro at humiliating him.
You see, earlier this week, Jack had taken it upon himself to take a pair of Merylâs panties out of her clean laundry and bring them to school with him.
He showed all his little friends, and by the end of the day, they all knew what Merylâs underwear looked like!
Heâd be in highschool with her next year, so, why not let HIS friends AND hers see some of him?
She quickly devised a plan.
âOkay. I have an idea. Actually, I know THE perfect costume!â She smiles.
Jack perks up even more.
âMhm! Come on!â Meryl takes Jackâs arm and leads him to the car.
They sit for a moment as Meryl pulls out her phone.
She quickly sets up a group text between her and her 6 friends:
Talia, Apple, Ingred, Kace, Ferris and Vicky.
âGuys! No matter what happens tonight, I need you all to pretend Jack is invisible. Seriously! No matter what! Pretend that Jack is INVISIBLE! Tell the other girls, too!â
Meryl expects return texts asking for clarification, but she just needed to get things rolling.
A few moments later, the siblings are pulling up to a small strip mall.
Meryl parks in front of a small shop called âMagic Rootsâ.
âThis isnât a costume shop.â Jack pouts.
âJust come on.â Meryl wastes no time.
She rushes into the shop ahead of Jack.
She makes her way to the back of the shop where a woman with long, flowing red hair stands.
Sheâs dressed in all black and wearing all sorts of silver jewelry.
âHey, Madame McLeod!â Meryl smiles.
The red haired vixen rolls her eyes.
âHow many times-? Donât call me âmadameâ.â The woman smirks. â âLadyâ works just fine.â
âSorry. Lady McLeod.â Meryl bows.
âEnough of that!â The woman scolds.
She and Meryl then both break into laughter as they embrace.
âWhat brings you to my shop?â Lady McLeod asks.
Iâm stunned by her beauty!
Those green eyes.
That smooth, milky skin.
That fire red hair that seems to flow behind her.
Sheâs mesmerizing!
âIâm looking for a âspecialâ costume for my brother.â Meryl explains.
Lady McLeod smiles with instant realization.
âAh! Something⌠Scary?â âSpecial?â âUnique?ââŚâ She pauses, raising an eyebrow. âMagic?â
Before Jack can answer, Meryl blurts out.
âAll of it! We just need to find somethingâŚâ Meryl pauses.
She leans in and whispers in Lady McLeodâs ear.
Lady McLeod smiles wide as she listens.
Meryl steps back.
âI see.â Lady McLeod taps her finger to her lips while looking Jack up and down, thinking.
She leans in and looks Jack in his face.
âYouâre not excited about tonight, are you?â She smiles.
âHuh?!â Jack gasps.
âYou wish you didnât have to go, right?â Lady McLeod asks.
âY-Yeah.â Jack says.
Heâs strangely transfixed by Lady McLeodâs emerald eyes.
âHmmm. What if you still went, butâŚâ Lady McLeod leans in.
âWhat if you were⌠invisible?â She whispers.
âHuh?â Jack blinks, confused.
âYouâre shy, right? Itâs going to be all girls? Youâd rather not be there, right? But have no choice.â Lady McLeod whispers.
Itâs EXACTLY what Jack feels!
He nods, dumbly.
Lady McLeod smiles.
âI have just the thing.â She straightens up.
Lady McLeod steps behind the counter.
She bends and opens a trunk behind her.
After a few moments, she turns, holding out a simple, silver ring in her hand.
âWhatâs that?â Jack asks.
âThis sacred object, my dear boy, is a âvanishing ringâ.â Lady McLeod says.
She steps back around the counter.
âWhen placed on the middle finger, it renders the wearerâŚâ Lady McLeod waves her hands lavishly, â invisible.â
After a moment,
12 year old Jack breaks.
âYeah, right!â He chides.
Lady McLeod holds the ring out.
âJust try it.â She smirks confidently.
Jack takes the ring.
Lady McLeod winks at Meryl.
Meryl returns the wink.
Jack puts on the ring.
Instantly, Meryl and Lady McLeod gasp.
âJack! Youâre invisible!â Meryl gasps, holding her hands to her mouth.
Lady McLeod looks Jack up and down.
âWell, we can still see your clothes, but YOU-are invisible!â She exclaims.
âYeah!â Meryl looks all around him. âI bet, Jack, if you took off all your clothes, youâd be completely invisible!â
There are no mirrors.
Jack waves his hands in front of Meryl and Lady McLeod.
They only gasp and laugh, looking at his clothes.
âAre you doing something?! We canât tell!â Meryl chirps.
Jack boldens.
He raises his middle finger to Meryl.
Right in her face!
No response.
Her excited expression doesnât change.
Not a waver!
âJack?â Meryl asks.
âYeah?â Jack asks.
âDo you feel any different?â Meryl asks.
Jack took a moment.
He didnât feel any different.
Not really.
I looks down at himself.
He looks back at Meryl and Lady McLeod.
Theyâre both smiling and looking at Jackâs clothes.
He pulls his shirt off over his head.
He watches Meryl and Lady McLeodâs eyes follow his shirt as he drops it to the floor!
âOh my god! Jack!â Meryl yelps. âYouâre half a boy!â
Jack does a âpelvic thrustingâ dance.
Meryl and Lady McLeod laugh.
âItâs like weâre being haunted by jeens! Hahaha!â Lady McLeod laughs.
Jack slips off his shoes and pulls his jeans to his ankles and steps out of them.
He pulls off his socks.
He then steps aside and stands straight, hands on hips.
Both Lady McLeod and Meryl gasp!
âItâs the floating underwear! Oooooo! Hahaha!â Meryl laughs.
Jack looks down at his tighty whities.
He can still see himself.
He suddenly feels nervous.
âJack! We can still see your undies!â Meryl points.
âIt only works if you take off ALL your clothes, dear.â Lady McLeod points.
He looks down.
His skinny body trembling in his little undies.
But thatâs all they can see?
He quickly slides his underwear down and off.
He stands, cupping his hands over his privates.
âJack?!â Meryl gasps!
Meryl and Lady McLeod are looking around the room.
They are looking in Jackâs direction, but looking passed him, and around the room at the same time!
(Can they really not see me?!)
Jack thinks.
He walks over to Meryl and moves one hand in front of her face.
She doesnât flinch!
Jack does the same to Lady McLeod.
She too, seems unphased!
âYou reaaly canât see me?â Jack asks.
Both Meryl and Lady McLeod look around the room as though trying to find where the voice is coming from.
(It works!) Jack thinks to himself.
He uncovers and jumps excitedly!
Meryl can hardly contain herself!
Her years of drama classes are paying off, BIG TIME!
In such a short amount of time, sheâs convinced her 12 year old brother that heâs invisible!
Lady McLeod is playing her part flawlessly, too!
Meryl almost blows it though when Jack jumps up and down, making his penis flop around!
âJack, put your clothes back on for now. We need to get home.â Meryl says.
Jack does as heâs told.
As he dresses, Meryl fights the urge to just let him walk out naked, but that could ruin her plans.
Jack now fully dressed again, he removes the ring.
âAh! There you are!â Meryl gasps.
âHere. Let me hold onto the ring until tonight, okay?â Jack hands her the ring.
âLets get home. I have an idea for how you can start off the night.â Meryl winks.
âHuh? Why canât I just wear the ring?â He asks.
âRemember a few years ago, when you were a ghost for Halloween?â She asks.
Jack thinks back to the time he wore a simple white sheet with eye holes cut out.
âYeah?â He says.
âWell, when we get home, Iâll make you another one. That way, you can go to the party with me as a ghost, then, take off the sheet and youâll be the invisible boy! No one will know youâre there!â Meryl explains.
Sheâs worried Jack might catch on, but then, in true gullable Jack fashion,
âSo I start out as a sheet ghost, then I can become the Invisible Boy! Like a magic trick!â Jack beams.
âYes! EXACTLY like magic!â Lady McLeod smiles.
She then winks at Meryl.
As they exit the shop, Meryl pulls out her cell phone, which has been buzzing non-stop.
Itâs the text chain she just started with her friends.
âInvisible? Why?â
âWhat do you mean âno matter whatâ?
âWhy though, Jack is so cute!â
âI know Henna and Fionna have a crush on him. Why should they act like heâs invisible?â
Pausing before getting in the car, Meryl shoots off the explanatory text.
âJack really does think heâs going to be invisible. You all KNOW how gullible he is. Iâm tricking him into coming to the party with me NAKED!â
I keep trying to make Magic my one and only focus these days, but as we move passed Halloween in the main story, I am compelled to put out a little Halloween one-off.
I donât know where this will lead, and donât want it to drag on, but this is an idea that is itching to come out soâŚ
