School of Wizardry-Part 1 (Portsville)


PORTSVILLE

Prologue
You're about to make the move from the big city to a small town. Hopefully, life won't be too boring in Portsville.

Chp1: Move from NYC to your Uncle Mortimer's house in Portsville
Your struggling single mother worries about your safety in the big city. You object at first, but when you see how hard she works to make ends meet, you agree to move in with Uncle Mortimer. Plus, once she saves enough to move to a better part of town, she promises that you can move back.

Chp2: Make new friends with the kids in town
Even though you've just met, somehow it feels like you've known Leanna and Morgan your entire life. There's an immediate and almost magical bond.

Chp3: Confront the town bully
Big Jimmy the town bully and his friends notice you, Leanna, and Morgan coming out of the mall. He pushes you down and takes your money. He and his friends laugh as they walk away. Your eyes burn with anger and somehow his pants burst into flames. Strange...

Chp4: Find out that your Uncle Mortimer is a wizard
It's the middle of the night and you can't sleep. You wander downstairs to find Uncle Mortimer gazing into a blue cloud of smoke while levitating a large book in the air with a wooden wand.

Chp5: Discover that you possess wizard powers as well
Uncle Mortimer explains that your dad was also a wizard and although your mom is a normal human, you inherited some of his wizard gifts. He warns you to guard these secrets with your life and not to use your powers unless it is absolutely necessary.

Chp6: Try using Uncle Mortimer's wand while he's out running errands
You point the wand at a few dishes and wave it around a little. Nothing happens. You point it at some books and give the wand a more vigorous wave, which instantly flings all the books off the shelf, smashes all the dishes on the ground, and knocks over the fish tank.

Chp7: Uncle Mortimer yells at you for using his wand
Uncle Mortimer warns you that your powers are not yet mature and as a result are unpredictable. You must wait for your abilities to mature a bit more. In due time he will guide you to use your powers. For now, you must clean up the mess you've made... without magic!

Chp8: Get a wand of your own
Uncle Mortimer takes you deep into the Mystical Forest to the Dwarf Wand Maker to get you a wand of your very own.

A Wish Come True (A Short Story)

I woke up with a start when I found myself in a very unfamiliar place. The bed I was lying on was grand—an English-quilting blanket and 2 soft pillows with flowery laces. The whole place was fit for a king! Suddenly the door opened and there stood my dream prince: Katsuya Kimura! I gasped in astonishment for he was actually a cartoon character. I did not know that he really exist. “Wake up, dear,” he said and pulled off the blanket and handed it to a woman who looked like the maid. “You will be late for work.” “Work?” I asked. “Yes! Work! Have you forgotten your own comic workhouse, baby dear?” Comic workhouse?! I…I have became a cartoonist? That was my wildest dreams! Being a cartoonist! I undressed and changed into my beige T-shirt and black trousers at once and hurriedly finished my breakfast. Katsuya drove me to the workhouse. My, my, was it big! I’ve never seen a bigger place than this! Katsuya kissed me and said, “See you at four, OK, baby?” I blushed scarlet. I always wan...

To A Beautiful Person

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, he listens. He can live anywhere in the universe, but he chose... your heart. Face it friend, He is crazy about you! God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Choking on Ink

My grandmother told me when she was in high school an old math teacher in his 60’s named Harold Davidson was teaching math and one of his students wouldn’t stop tapping his pen during class.  The teacher went berserk and lost his mind. He snatched the pen and attacked the kid, lodging the pen down the child’s throat while his classmates looked on screaming. While struggling, the kid kicked the teacher in the chest with the little energy he had left. The teacher collapsed and they both died at the same time. When school was back in session and math class began with the new teacher, the class noticed that a weird symbol appeared on the chalk board. The symbol had lines inside of a circle. All the lines within the circle were the common math symbols = + x and division.  If you outline certain parts of the symbol it looks as if a pacman shape has a line going through its mouth or maybe a head getting choked with a pen. The teacher asked who drew it but no one came f...
