The invisibility potion opened my eyes. It worked, but people treated me the same! Even when I tried to cross the street.

Good point, though I only ever imagined a light-bending effect (which would end up the same, except you'd be standing on black footprints all the time - no light to bend between foot and ground).

Peering into the darkened void that engulfed me, I screamed. "Why?"
A deep echo replied. "Because you are the last one."

"Just one please."
