chapter 1 to my book "Jack and The Black Snow"

Chapter one 


It was Jack's birthday. December 7th 2009. Jack was born white as snow. Jack was named after Jack Frost. He didn't have the same powers as him though. Though he could control smoke, use it to teleport like a magician. He usually just lurks, like the smoke that follows behind him. But tonight, he was the center of attention. He was the main focus of the circus, he could make things and people disappear. He was the best at making people disappear. If someone wanted to vanish, they would go to him. 


Now, let's talk about the present. It became a hobby for him to smoke away his problems; both physically and metaphorically. Whilst someone was talking to him about someone they wanted to disappear, he closed his eyes and wished everyone themselves would disappear. He then opened his eyes and the person that was talking to him was gone. He then walked around the room looking for them. He then walked outside the room into the dim lit hallway and found absolutely no one; even though the hallways are usually bustling with folks who lived and worked with the circus. 


Once he walked outside the circus building, he still couldn't find anyone. No one was there to be seen. Until he looked up at the cloudy sky and suddenly found someone falling from the sky. “The hell…” he whispered to himself. He then rushed over to where the person who fell from the sky was supposed to land, and found nothing. “Who are you?” demanded a voice behind him. He then turned around and saw the familiar shadow that was the boy who fell from the sky.


“Im jack, jack o lander.” Jack stood straight, announcing himself like he did every time he met someone new at the circus. He then stuck his hand out, expecting the boy to shake his hand. The boy hesitated but ended up shaking the hand of Jack. “Im ray flakes, but you can just call me flakes!” he said enthusiastically.


flakes takes a few steps closer out of the dark revealing his face, Jack jumps back and whispers frightened “why is there a hole where your eyes should be?” flakes chuckled a bit. “It's a long story that ill be delighted to share with you my friend. but before that, i would like to know where in the bloody hell i am?” jack stopped and thought for a minute. “Where you are, i have no clue, but what date it is, ill be glad to tell you” jack said in a riddle like manner, then laughed at his own silliness.”anyways” jack continued “the date is november, 9th and the year is 2025” Flakes began to laugh “your funny Jack, your saying i traveled to the future?” jack looked flakes in the eyes. “Depends, what date was it for you five minutes ago?” Flakes replied “well if my memory serves me right its the 1920’s; november 9th 1925 to be exact”
