Georges Seurat The Circus painting

The headline was too bold, too black, too incredible to miss: FBI ENTERS MANHEIM KIDNAPPING.A chill shuttled and wove in Fricman, Mysterious Caller, his guardian angel: the cold face, the pale gray eyes.Fric tried to throw the Times down, but was unable to let go of it, not because his hands were moist with fear but because the newspaper seemed to have acquired a static charge, and clung to him.In the picture, Mysterious Caller became animated, as if this were not a newspaper .A sudden brine moistened his palms, as if he had dipped his hands into a supernatural sea, and his fingers stuck to the paper.He checked the date of the issue. December 24. The day after tomorrow.On the front page, under the frightening headline, were two photographs: a publicity shot of Ghost Dad, and the front gate of the estate.Reluctant to read the report for fear that reading it would make it come true, Fric glanced at the bottom of the column and saw that the story continued on page 8. He turned to page 8 in search of the picture most important to him.And there he was.Under his photo were these words: Aelfric Manheim, 10, missing since Tuesday night.As he stared in shock at the photo, his black-and-white image morphed into that of the mirror
