When Magic Goes Wrong

He held them with his mind.

He controlled them.

The chairs swirled around him, dancing as if held by invisible strings. 

Max practiced on chairs, however, his powers allowed him to manipulate things far more complex than that... 

It was the evening. Time for tea. Max made his powers prepare a cup of tea. When he went out to practice, he thought to himself 'Why should I stop at chairs? I could go to higher heights'. 

He left his house to lift more things. Max started with chairs and then went on to grand pianos, stages, people, buildings. 

Soon his magic was getting out of hand. He started lifting everything on Earth. Even the cars were driving on air. He didn't know what to do... 

Suddenly the Earth started spinning twice as fast. It spun so quickly that the people on Earth could feel it moving. Max tried to stop it but just made things worse. Earth was going CRAZY!! 

He tried chanting all the spells he knew. None of them worked anymore. 

He took a deep breath. 'You can do this' he thought to himself. He used all his power and a big SWOOSH. He was floating and his eyes were glowing. 

He had many questions on his mind.

Was it too powerful? Would he make it? What if it didn't work? 

Everything was back to normal again but his powers were gone. 

It wasn't that bad. He didn't have any magical problems and he was pretty strong without his powers. But some days he just wished they had come back.
