The Problem with Magic Chapter 16

Gretel came back a few minutes later. “He’s gone,” she said. “The doors are locked and I looked through the entire house. I can’t put up magic protections or anything though. I’m sorry. I’m just a healer.” I glanced down at Joel, who was currently not dead because Gretel was “just” a healer. But I […]

The Problem with Magic Chapter 15

I locked eyes with Joel from across the garden as Corman held up the tiny box. It glowed a faint amber in his palm and I saw the fear bloom in Joel’s eyes as the glow faded. “Joel, Joel, Joel,” Corman said, shaking his head in exaggerated disappointment. “Did you really think you could just […]

My head hurt. That was the first thing I was aware of as I surfaced, a pulsating, electric agony flaring through the back of my skull. The second was that I was sitting upright, though my head was sagging forward on my sore neck. As I slowly lifted it, the memories of what had happened […]

Sure enough, a wave of women descended on the conference room about three hours later. My desk was now in Angie’s office, so I went in there to do my work as they put the wedding venue together. Through the gaps in the privacy curtains we’d put up, I could see that Cherise was helping […]

“Are we sure this is the right choice?” Markus, one of the younger men on the custodial staff, tapped a pencil thoughtfully against his mouth as he looked over the emptied conference room with me and Angie. The only remaining furniture in the room was my desk, which was pushed as close to Angie’s office […]

The Problem with Magic Chapter 11

I drove to the hotel. As tempting as it was to walk there and work off some of my anger that way, they did have a point that it could be dangerous to be out on the street. Even outside of the potential magical hitmen I might encounter, it was nearly midnight. So rather than […]

The Problem with Magic Chapter 10

Ezra walked back in first. Maybe I was being a coward, but I needed a couple minutes to get my nerves up for whatever was going to happen next. I was still mad at Gretel too, even though maybe I didn’t deserve to be. This was such a huge secret to keep and I honestly […]

I staggered backward as Joel fell heavily against me. Ezra hurried to carry some of his weight and, together, we managed to get him into the house. “I’m through here,” I said, steering us toward my door. Gretel was walking through the kitchen as we came in, clearly on her way to check on me. […]

It was a burst pipe. Hours later, after the event room, plus all the surrounding rooms, had been evacuated and cleared of as many things as possible, the plumber came to us with the news. I had about twenty minutes left of my shift by this point, so I was standing at the reception desk […]

The Problem with Magic Chapter 7

I hoped work would help distract me from what had happened, but the next morning I was out of sorts and dazed as I walked into the Landmark Hotel. The wedding was two days away and Reg was in the lobby when I arrived, two carts laden with foil trays behind him. “Good morning, Miss […]
