This, like “Invocation,” is an homage to Brendan Adkins and his 101-word fiction. I’m not sure what aspect of his style always makes me want to write about magic!

Creative ideas, but it’s a very busy story. I had to read it twice to understand what was going on, and even now I’m not completely sure if I do. But I’ve never Brendan Adkins, and it’s 1am, and I’m so sleepy…

I loved the matter of fact feel of the piece, the pretentiousness of the Latin class name and the ridiculous English major.
