"Now we are down to four " stated Max as the spotlight shot back to the remaining unaltered college students. "Who will be our next victims? I mean, volunteers?
Several audience members began laughing.
Kyle and Elaine raised their hands uncontrollably and stepped to the stage. They both staggered in an awkward pattern from overdrinking.
Kyle's eyes were totally bloodshot and he wreaked alcohol in general. One collar of his blue striped polo shirt was folded up. His beige slacks and brown dress shoes showed some evidence that he spilled some alcohol in his lap and on the floor.
Elaine's dirty blonde hair was slightly messed up. She really didn't care. Her face was a bright pink. One of the strips of her summer dress hung over her right shoulder and she wore cutoff jeans underneath and some platform shoes. She giggled at every little thing and almost stumbled on the stage.
"Wow!" exclaimed Max, "You guys are really smashed, huh?"
"Yup " sputtered Kyle. "I think I had a little too much, but I'm feeling really good right now. It's a good buzz."
"Well, OK," started Max. I need you to both close your eyes and stand perfectly still and think of your ideal fantasy mate. Whose body do you fantasize about?" He cautiously scampered out of the way as the two thought hard about the question then all of a sudden
BAM!!!
A large solid slab of metal fell on them covering most of the stage!
The audience gasped!
Max stepped back in, "Don't worry, folks! It's all part of the illusion!" He instructed the backstage crewmembers to lift the slab off.
After being raised, it revealed Kyle and Elaine flattened as if they were 2 pieces of poster paper.
Max picked up Elaine. Her whole body was frozen in place and her facial features were limited to talking and moving her eyes. "Oh my God! What the hell happened?!"
"You two definitely are 'smashed!'" snickered Max. The two college kids sobered up pretty quickly.
"The wonderful thing about paper is that you can manipulate it oh so much!" started Max as he grabbed both the flattened Kyle & Elaine and folded them like origami. He made Elaine into a crane and Kyle into a horse.
"Hey! Cut that out! Change us back!" screamed a muffled demand from Kyle.
"Please calm down.," instructed Max as he began unfolding them back to normal. "I have other plans for you two..."
