Henry was already over there, narrating as he typed, “Spirit… communication…” He hit search, then leaned in to look. “Uh-oh.”
I read aloud: “Seventeen million four hundred and thirty thousand pages of info for spirit communication.” This might take some time…
Henry scrolled down the list, stopping on “Spirit communication, comma, spells. Whoa, really…? This book has spells…? Like, spells?”
He clicked that link, a new page opened, and something that looked like a recipe with an attached poem appeared.
“Okay, let’s do this,” Henry said. He raised his voice slightly. “Malcolm, stand in the middle of the room.”
I did as he asked, uncertain as to what we were doing, but whatever it was, maybe he wanted to put on pants first…?
But no, apparently, pants could wait. Henry clapped his hands three times and spun in a circle as he chanted, “Though the night is dark and the sun is bright, I bid you to dance unto my sight.”
I was standing there, thinking, You certainly are a dancing sight, spinning like that, Mr. Naked, when all at once, I started moving. It was the weirdest freaking thing—as if my legs suddenly had a life of their own.
I looked down at me feet. Was I…?
Oh, my God, I was Irish Step Dancing!
“Oh no. No no no no no,” I shouted.
But I could tell that Henry still couldn’t see me, and he verified that by saying, “It didn’t work.”
“The fuck it didn’t!” I yelled, stomping my way merrily across the room. “Make it stop!”
