Liz grabbed a Book and sat down in her favourite beanbag. She enjoyed the silence of her favourite Library corner as she heard footsteps, followed by the voices of little Kids. A bit unsure of what was going on, did she put her Book down and listened. Someone was in the children section and read a story about a Magicians assistant. The more Liz listened to the story of the Assistant searching for a missing rabbit, did she decide to take a closer look at the scene.

As silent as possible did she walk over to the childrens section and started to watch as a woman started to do a card trick, to illustrate what was happening in the Story. Till the Magician reached the next chapter. This time however, did he put the book down, much to the dismay of the Kids that were entranced by the Story. Meanwhile did the Assistant roll a Table with a long flat box on it.

Some of the kids recognized the Trick that was about to happen instantly. So, the Magician let a few of them come up to the table and climb into the Box for the sawing in half Illusion. To their dissapointment, all of the Kids were to small for the Box. So they had to step back and watch as the Assistant climbed into the Box, giving her little audience a brave smile.

The Magician did his best to close the Box. However, Liz could clearly see that the womans chest was to big to fully close the Box and her hips didnt help either. Liz laughed at the sight of the Assistant trying to fit into the Box. Noticing a second to late, that everyone heard her little laugh. The Magicians eyes rested on Liz. "Young Lady, would you be so kind and lend me a hand? Since my Assistant is clearly not the right fit."

Liz wanted to decline, however the Assistant had already walked over and grabbed her shoulder, reassuring the girl that the Trick was perfectly safe. So after a few seconds of struggle did the young Girl give up and followed the Assistant to the Table. Under the watchful eyes of the Assistant did Liz climb into the Box, daming her own curiosity.

To her own surprise was the Box rather comfy. If there wasnt so many children with their eyes glued on her, would she have enjoyed to just lay there for a bit. Her thoughts got interrupted as the Assistant, with the help of the Magician placed stocks around her head, hands and feet. Making completely certain, that Liz wasnt going to walk away. Her heart started to race a bit faster as she pushed against her restraints. This time the Box closed without a problem.

"Its just going to tickle a little." the Assistant reasurred as the MAgician came into view, with a rather large saw in hand. Liz wasnt quite so sure, especially since she could feel the wood of the Box moving and the Saw. A saw that was slowly getting closer to her defensless hips. And then it happened, she felt the teeth of the Saw resting on her skin, since Assistant pulled up her shirt before the Box closed.

Liz tried to control her voice, to not scare the children. The Assistant grabbed her hand, while the magician set out to finish his job. The smile of the Assistant calmed the girl enough that she managed to stay calm as the saw started to move across her skin. At first a slight giggle came over her lips, before Liz had to really laugh, as the saw cut deeper into her.

She soon had to admit, that the saw made her ticklish.

With the cutting through the Table, did the Assistant place two Blades into the new slot. Without a need for the saw, did the Magician threw it to the side and unlatched the Table, allowing him and the Assistant to pull it and the volunteer on top of it apart. Liz felt herself move into two directions. Watching her Legs roll past as they changed position.

Once they were happy, did the Assistant lean next to Liz feet as the Magician picked up and read the Book, much to Liz displeasure did the Assistant ran her fingers arcoss the helpless feet, till the chapter ended with a restored Assistant. Giving reason to put Liz back together. She felt great once the Blades were being pulled out.

However to her shock, did her Tshirt and Pants vanish. All she was now wearing was a short red dress with white fur on the arms and around her hips. "Looks like our Volunteer is now much more dressed for the season. "Now my dear, would you mind helping out with a final trick?"

Liz sighed. "Fine." after the Magician promised her to be attached to a lot ofChristmas presents. She wasnt sure what a lot would mean, but being sawn in half wasnt so bad, so taking her chance did she watch the Assistant roll another box with Rollers on the Side.

With the help of the Assistant did Liz climb onto the Box, without flashing her audience and sat down on top of a small opening.

She dropped her feet inside, till her toes rested in between two rolls. It took her a moment to long to understand what it meant. As the Magician started to turn a wheel on the side, pulling her toes deeper into the Box. The Rest of her Body soon followed. The Girl could imagine what was happinging to her, however it felt more like a gentle hug, than her body being squished flat. She wondered how many rolls between the top and the side she had to pass before coming out again.

As her hips vanished into the machine did she manage to see her flat toes coming out. Completly unable to move them, did a bit of Panic ran through her Body. However the rolls pressed all of the worry out of her. She gave the kids a brave smile as her head finally vanished into the Box.

With her being completely flattened, did the Assistant remove her from the machine and pinned her to the wall.

And so the Magician started to read again. The part about the lovely Assistant being flattened wasnt to scary, now that she was already flattened. What worried Liz was how the Magician discibed how the Assistant in the Book, got cut into multiple Bookmarks. Without a way to protest had Liz to watch how the kids started to cut shapes of her flattened Body.

Once each of the kids had at least one one properly sized bookmarks and most of Liz was either placed in a Book or as small pieces of paper on the Floor, did the Magician thank his little Listeners for their time. And with that did the Parents of the children arrive to bring them back home.

Feeling herself being carried all across the city, did she wonder if she would ever be restored.

For a few days could she hear and feel how the Kids and their Parents used her as proper Bookmark to read a lot stories. Which warmed her flattened heart.

On Christmas morning did she open her eyes, waking up back into her Bed. She walked into the living room to see a large Tree with a lot Presents under it. "Thanks for your Help. -Santa" Liz laughted at the Note. While she unpacked the Presents did she find all the things she had wished for in the Past.
