Amy in a Jar

Chiller 24
(page 1 of 4)

kelly All I was doing was sitting in my best friend Janie's room, when her little sister, Kelly, charged in, pointed at me, and hollered: "I don't like you!" then ran back out.
I didn't get it. Even though Kelly was only eight, three years younger than we were, I was really trying to be nice to her. I even watched her try to do some magic tricks and kept quiet when they didn't work. "What did I do to her?" I asked Janie.
"You didn't do anything," Janie said. "She's just like that. Ignore her."
But then Kelly came back, and this time she was holding an old glass jar and what looked like a magic wand. "This is a magic jar," she said, waving the wand over it. "Know what I'm going to do with it?" she asked.
"Like we care," Janie answered.
"I'm going to put Amy in it." She tapped the wand on the edge of the jar and, maybe it was just my imagination, but I thought I saw a spark fly into the glass. Then she came towards me and pretended she was lifting me up and putting me in the jar. "There," she said. "Now you're in my power. And guess what's going to happen when I put on the lid!" Then she took off again.
"Wow, you're sister's really a weirdo," I told Janie.
"Tell me. She just wants me to sit and watch her do magic all day, and if I invite someone over, she gets jealous."

Kelly was weird all right, but I tried not to think about her after I'd gone back home. I told myself that the spark I'd seen going into the jar was just static electricity, and stopped worrying about it.
Mistake. Big mistake.
