Today is my birthday. Lindsay took me out for a spa day, and a meal at one of my favorite restaurants. I was wearing a green sweater and blue jeans.

When we got back to my place, I unlocked the door, and turned on the light.

"SURPRISE!!!" I heard from the waiting crowd inside.

I couldn't believe it, a surprise party for me. I wonder who was behind this.

"Th... thank you." That was all I could manage to say as my eyes started to well up with tears.

There was was music and dancing. A cake was brought out that believe it or not, was made to look like a sawing box.  Zack led the crowd in singing "Happy Birthday."

"Okay, Erin, make a wish and blow out the candles." Zack said.

I made my wish, and blew out all 29 of the candles  After everyone had had a chance to eat some cake, Zack walked to the front of the room.

"Can I have everyone's attention please?" He said. "We've hired a magician for the last portion of the party. Please give him a round of applause, and your full attention."

Just then the magician walked in, while the party goers applauded.

"Thank you, Zack." The magician said. "Now, I'm only going to perform only one illusion tonight, and I would like to ask the birthday girl if she would be willing to help me."

I said yes, and walked up to the front.

"Erin, right?" The magician asked.

"Yes." I replied.

"You have been volunteered for this illusion." He said. "But first you need to be dressed more properly for this illusion."

The magician then snapped his fingers and a cloud of smoke engulfed my body. When it disappeared, I was wearing a sparkling green bikini. This got a cheer from the party guests.  As this was going on, a couple of assistants brought out a long metal table, and a large buzz saw.

"Erin, would you please climb on to the table, and lie on your stomach?" He asked.

I did as he asked me, and the assistants fastened metal restraints around my wrists, and a metal brace around my waist.

The magician then turned on the saw. I could feel the breeze from the saw as it moved closer and closer. I winced as the saw ripped into my flesh, and started severing my spine. The saw continued to cut deeper, and deeper, and deeper into me until it finally came out my front. This caused me to faint. The assistants then pulled my two halves apart.

The magician walked over, and snapped his fingers. This caused me to wake up. The party goers applauded. The magician walked over, and tickled my feet, which caused me to laugh.

"Now, I know a lot of you have probably seen this illusion before, but I'm about to do something that I bet none of you have seen before." The magician said.

Just then a couple of assistant wheeled out a couple of stools. They then undid my restraints. The magician then picked up my top half, and set down on one of the stools. He did the same for my lower half. I crossed my legs.

"You guys have been a wonderful audience! Good night, everyone." The magician said.

The party goers applauded.  I opened my presents, and had some more cake. As the party came to an end, the guests all walked by to get a closer look at my divided body. I gave them all a hug, and thanked them for coming.  After all the guests had left, Zack came up to me, picked up my top half, and kissed me.

"So what did you think of the party?" He asked.

"It was wonderful." I replied. "Was the magician your idea?"

"Yes, it was. I know that was your favorite version of the sawing in half illusion." He replied.

"Thank you." I replied. "So I take it the magician isn't coming back to put me back together?"

"Nope." Zack replied.

"Are you going to put me back together?" I asked.

"Eventually." He replied.

Zack then grabbed the stool with my lower half, while still carrying my top half, and took me into the bedroom.

"So what did you wish for when you blew out the candles" Zack asked.

"I got my wish tonight." I replied.

THE END
