This week’s prompt from the Carrot Ranch is looking at magic
August 23, 2018, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that includes magic. It can be a supernatural force, a moment or idea, or use it as a verb. Go where the prompt leads.
‘Do you believe in magic, Logan?’
‘In what context?’
‘What’s wrong with a yes or no?’
‘If you mean prestidigitation…’
‘Huh?’
‘Slight of hand, deceit, then that’s not magic. If you mean the magic of nature or of birth or first love…’
‘You soppy romantic…’
‘… then yes. There are some things that are truly magical, truly miraculous. They constantly amaze me.’
‘Like my wit and brilliance?’
‘Like the fact that despite you driving me nuts, talking rot, playing the fool, we are still friends.’
‘And my wit and brilliance?’
‘That too.’
‘Give me a hug.’
‘Don’t push it…’
Morgan and Logan, in a previous life…

About TanGental
My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published several books: a four book series following Harry Spittle as he grows from hapless student to hapless partner in a London law firm; four others in different genres; a book of poetry; four anthologies of short fiction; and a memoir of my mother. I have several more in the pipeline.
I have been blogging regularly since 2014, on topic as diverse as: poetry based on famous poems; memories from my life; my garden; my dog; a whole variety of short fiction; my attempts at baking and food; travel and the consequent disasters; theatre, film and book reviews; and the occasional thought piece. Mostly it is whatever takes my fancy.
I avoid politics, mostly, and religion, always. I don't mean to upset anyone but if I do, well, sorry and I suggest you go elsewhere.
These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.
Love these little conversational snippets! I can almost hear them being spoken!

A magical friendship which might, one day, master the buddy hug! The bottom photo looks like stone rubber duckies.

I can’t get used to Roberta! It’s only after I’ve commented it occurs to me, Er that’s Robbie… and thank you. I’m enjoying forensically digging into these two stone-brained Godot attendees…

I suppose it is a bit strange to have three blogs. I need to separate my children’s books from my supernatural horror so that is why I have done it. I don’t mind if you call me Robbie for both. It is more to stop the Moms and Grans from getting upset about my darker stuff.
