The Gift

Write a scene or story in which a character receives an unusual gift.

Growing up, I really loved the children's book Morris' Disappearing Bag by Rosemary Wells, in which Morris gets a strange gift: an invisible bag that renders him unseeable if he climbs into it. All his siblings want to disappear too. This week's prompt will take a hint from Rosemary Wells.
