“Mac and Magic”

(The first in the continuation of my book in my blog)

In a world filled with magic, there’s ways magical beings can temporarily give their powers to non-magical beings. This is done through magical Mac and Cheese called “Mac and Magic.”

The secret to Mac and Magic is feeding the cows magical alfalfa and stirring the noodles during a full moon, stirred with a wand made from the branch of The Sacred Tree.

Jefvery was a non-magical being that used Mac and Magic to help his dying grandmother. He walks into the magic shop, “Hello? Anyone there?” Nobody is behind the counter. It isn’t the full moon for another week, maybe they’re closed?

But he needs that Mac and Magic for his grandmother who just came out of surgery, he has to get some! He walks behind the counter and enters a door to the kitchen where he sees the magical equipment used to make Mac and Magic. Nobody is there.

He begins to play with random magical tools when he knocks over a cook book. He puts the tools down and begins looking for the recipe. “Juice of Time, Kill Your Enemy Potion, Love Potion, ah! Here it is: Mac and Magic.” He begins reading the recipe and gasps.

“In order to make the cheese absorb into the non-magical beings, a sacrifice of non-magical life force is required.” Holy shit, are these fucks the reason his grandmother was sick?! He turns the stove on and tosses the book on top and leaves.

After the fire nobody could use magic powers who weren’t born with them anymore, but Jefvery’s grandmother started to improve. Yeah, she didn’t have magical pain relief, and Jefvery had to work twice as hard to do chores to help her, and maybe he had to quit his job to be a full time caregiver, but he gets his mortal grandmother’s health.

Nobody knew what Jefvery did that week before the full moon. Nobody knew what the magician’s dark secret was, he just knew he put it to a stop. And he felt no need to ever tell anyone. His grandmother died 5 years later from heart failure, but she was about to die way sooner. He went to the ball game and concerts with her and the memory will never be lost.
