#Audio. #FlashFic. Teenagers, magic, and Christmas don’t always go together so well.
Excerpt:

Just think how much easier life would be without your friends constantly asking if you could just make their homework appear or speed the time ahead so they didn’t have to go to gym. No, Magical Education is sort of like… you have friends who do their Confirmation or Bar Mitzvah classes after school, right?”
“Yeah, sure. Zachary Schwartz has been bragging that Lady Gaga is performing at his party.”
“Well, this doesn’t come with pop singers, but Mother Margery at the Episcopal church teaches a Coming of Magical Age class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You’ll be doing that.”
