“Can you smell chocolate?”
“What? No.” Charlie frowned, “I was trying to explain how magic has evolved, pay attention.”
Elizabeth paused. She sniffed at the air.
Charlie continued, “People still think of magic as it was in the middle ages.”
“I’m sure of it.” Elizabeth muttered. “I can. Now I really want chocolate.”
Charlie took hold of her chin and examined her eyes. He sighed and looked upwards.
“Hey, you,” he shouted at the rooftops. “Not this one.”
The wind carried soft laughter, and a swish like a fishing line being recast.
“It’s gone,” Elizabeth sniffed. “What were you saying?”
[heart!]
ReplyDelete*^_^* thank you!
ReplyDeleteWell, and your protagonist is very right....magic is very different now! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh those unexplainable aerie moments that make life such a treat... I think you captured one beautifully.
ReplyDeleteInteresting concept; amused at how easily this goes over Elizabeth's head. (Known people like that.)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Magaly. It's all in how you look at the world... ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Aidan. Inspired by modern marketing and tall buildings... ;)
What good is modern magic if it can't give me chocolate right now? Very cute.
ReplyDeleteI know... 'modern magic' can give me books and movies and music right now. Why not chocolate!? ;D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, John. =)

Hi Nadine, Thank You. =)

ReplyDeleteThat is seriously uncharacteristic of you! =D
ReplyDeleteMaybe you're mellowing in your old age... ;D
Nah just getting boring and cantankerous.
