Writing in Cadence

Kyle woke abruptly—it was April 1^st. He quickly scanned the room for signs of his brother, Phillip, and got up. The siblings had swapped April Fools’ pranks for years, and Kyle was on full alert. His class presentation materials sat undisturbed, however, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Kyle moved to his bedroom door and flung it open into an empty hallway before heading to the bathroom. He turned on the light and caught his reflection in the mirror.

“WHERE ARE MY EYEBROWS!” he yelled.

Downstairs, Phillip was laughing.

“Good luck with your presentation!” he yelled back.
