When I read this story, I begin to believe that magic really could be a part of the natural world.
Loved it – so realistic (given the setting, I mean). I’ve worked in schools, and you really captured it.
Don’t know if you use the blurb up top anywhere else, but it uses Rutherford Wisenhaur II and I think it should be Rutherford Wisenhaur III.
You may not agree.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Tony. Will fix it.
Wow. Loved this story.
What a great story! I think these are my favorites – the way you weave magic into the “real world.”
