As the young fairy recited the final words of the incantation bright pulsing light erupted from her wand. The magic spell she had been practicing for months finally worked. A golden thread appeared before her, weaving into a shimmering tapestry depicting her deepest desires. She reached out to touch it with a shaking hand but as her fingers passed through the light, the tapestry vanished, and she was left with only a sense of longing. In that moment she realized that the true magic wasn't in the spell itself but in the journey of discovering what truly mattered to her.

If Walls Could Talk
If walls could talk at the Old Lake Mont Resort, they would tell a story of the day Maggie Tate came to live. That is the day a thin break of light in the darkness began to grow as a force was exerted upon the wall outside the dark room. Dust particles danced in and out of the beam as the air was stirred up. Harsh scraping of wood across the floor broke seven years of silence. With a final push of force and a grunt of exertion the bright sunlight came flooding into the building, the darkness retreating into the corners. Layers of dust and cobweb covered mounds began to take the shape of large plastic drop clothes draped over tables and chairs.
