Ascension wasn’t difficult that day.  I simply dissolved into many points of light, allowing myself to be beamed up. 

My problem is that no one saw it. 

What was the point of that glorious display when it was ignored?

I’m not a charlatan or anything.  Practically anything can be transmuted, if one knows how to dissolve the bonds that hold matter together, and then reassemble them through sheer force of will.

Another person did it before me.  We had the same Teacher.

I blame those damned cellular phones.  Everyone was too busy, texting, to see my feat.

It’s not fair!
