Living with Magic Chapter 10

My phone buzzed as we were walking to Gretel’s car. It was Angie texting me that she had the flu and there was no way she’d be at work tomorrow. She’d alerted security about my encounter and reminded them about it today, but she wouldn’t be in for at least a couple days. Maybe it […]

One thing we did have to do, though, was tell Reg what was going on. The Scarecrow Grille was probably the safest place in Salem, so neither Joel nor Gretel had any hesitation about going there. Joel invited Ezra too, and he accepted after Joel gave him big sad eyes for all of three seconds.  […]

Ezra was over when I got home a little while later. His shock of blue hair was the first thing I saw in the living room as I opened the door, stepping inside and hitting the deadbolt as subtly as possible. Thankfully, it was only him and Joel there. And Joel was far too occupied […]

Declan didn’t show up to the Landmark Hotel at all the next day. Gretel was still unhappy about me going to work, but I’d promised to stay in touch and that seemed to comfort her, just a little. Not as much as locking me up somewhere safe would have, but enough that we were okay […]

Reg and his Ma left about thirty minutes later, leaving me, Gretel, and Joel in the living room, surrounded by tea mugs. I started gathering them to bring to the sink just as they were leaving. “I can-” Joel started, but I shook my head. “I’ve got it,” I said, keeping my tone light as […]

I was out of my seat before I realized what was happening. I’d left the door to the back hallway unlocked and started for it, but the lock clicked before I made it three steps.  “I’m not going to hurt you,” Declan said from behind me as I turned back, ready to scream. “I just […]

 It was raining when I got to work that morning. Thankfully, I had an umbrella stashed in my car, so I didn’t look entirely like a drowned rat when I got into the building, but my shoes were still squishing unpleasantly as I walked through the main lobby of the Landmark Hotel. I worked in […]

Gretel and I were both up early the next morning for work. I was taking a quick shower with soft music playing on the little speaker in our bathroom, trying to relax as I got ready for the day. Our shower wasn’t great, nothing like the ones we had at The Landmark, the boutique hotel […]

Living with Magic Chapter 1

It’s not that I don’t like The Scarecrow Grille. I grew up in Salem, of course I love it there. It’s Reg’s home away from home, he’s owned it my entire life, and he makes a burger like no one else in the world. And yeah, he probably uses magic for it, but I’ve been […]
