A Ring, A Space

Xu Feng stared into the now vacant cellar with a delayed intensity. The once crowded space, filled to the brim with earthenware jars containing fruit wine, jams, and even the small reserves of food and seeds, had vanished into thin air. 

 

His jaw dropped slightly as he took in the empty shelves and the newfound emptiness that surrounded him.

 

Absently, he rubbed his round belly with his free hand as he continued to gaze into the void before him. His heart raced with a strange mixture of exhilaration and disbelief. 

 

After a few moments of stunned silence, he lowered his gaze to the ceramic jar and spoon still clutched in his hand.

 

'I want this in my space,' he declared in his mind, almost as if testing the limits of this newfound golden finger.

 

And just like that, they were gone.
