Magician

he wove his spells meticulously constructed each with loving care each component ingredient chosen from the very best that there were and of course his care was rewarded his fame just grew and grew and grew but he had a secret ambition that only he and I knew from his inter dimensional office he could hop through time and space gloat at the awe and wonder displayed on his primitive audience collective face and he travelled worlds and eras revelled in his universal fame enjoyed the sense of power inspired by his worshipped name but dimension security enforcement was rapidly closing in on his crime for his moving skills back and forth was playing heck with congruent time he knew his days were numbered but his preparations were all but made to achieve his yearned for ambition the final plans were all but laid with just mega seconds to its fruition he was very sadly and deviously tricked into revealing his current location and was very quickly nicked he never achieved his ambition it remained his secret as well of course I knew the details but I promised not to tell

They are the worst words a reader can read! I once read a 300 page mystery novel and nearing the end the sleuth unraveled the puzzle to divulge the culprit and where he did dwell, ...and he ended the last chapter with "but that I cannot tell" ! Loved your story apart for the last 6 words. Cheers
