First time at writing fiction in a while. This was a free-write warm-up that turned into something I'm ok with sharing. It's the writing equivalent of a sketch, so don't expect much. I hope to share more.
About this short story:
-Rated G
-Themes: Friendship, personal growth
-Snapshot:
“I know! We’ll play a game!” Mac said, holding the stone up to his eye as if it was a magic looking glass.
“Give it back!” Koen lunged forward – and grabbed a handful of nothing. Mac was gone.
So yeah! Take a look an let me know what you think.

Interesting story! I'm aware that this is your first time writing in a while, and that you describe this as a sketch, so I won't really give critique. What's important is that you're writing, so don't be dissuaded. You're showing a good interest in developing scenes by showing them, rather than telling action. You're not glossing over these details, which is important - just try not to move things too fast! =)
You're welcome! Don't always feel like you have to push action forward relentlessly - trust your readers to be more mature, in that they'll keep reading even if the pace slows down, or things become subtle. Just a general comment (you didn't do it here) but make sure when giving a bit more description or elaboration to not suddenly have a character give information about themselves in their speech that is not natural. An example would be a character announcing calling in speech their partner husband or wife, rather than their first name in order to let the reader know they are married. =)
