The local

Rhymebawd pens another odd little story. Perhaps inspired by a movie that released a few weeks ago?

I took my shirt off, rolled it into a ball and tossed it out of the train. As soon as it left my hand, it disappeared. Literally. Vanished into thin air. Poof! Gone.“Did you see that?” I turned to ask the others but nobody was looking, nobody answered. I leaned out of the train and looked back, not that I would’ve been able to see anything in the darkness. I reached into my jeans and pulled out a handkerchief, crumpled it up and threw it out. I saw it fly out of my hand, stay in the air for a while and fall down in the distance. Maybe I’d just imagined it, maybe it was a trick of light or something.

Curious, curious. What movie would that be?

Jumper, based on a book by Stephen Gould. I’m guessing there are different physical principles at play in your story, but your protagonist “jumping” certainly reminded me of this movie :)

Ah, ok. Haven’t got around to reading or seeing “Jumper”, but I can see what you mean. How was the movie, btw?
And, incidentally, the inspiration for the story lies in early McEwan ;)
