Magic Is Real

Sereitta had confidence that eluded us. She could fly, see through walls, and read people’s thoughts. She had super powers that included turning invisible. Sereitta talked a hungry leopard into sparing her life more than once. What is her secret? We wondered. Watching in mystified awe. She was an anomaly, untouchable, unexplainable. Why don’t you ask her? I asked myself. “Powers are easy,” Sereitta told me. “All you have to do is believe. Magic comes instantly to those who believe in it.” I tried super hard to believe in magic, but doubt ruined it for me. I never walked through walls or became invisible. “Keep trying,” she encouraged me. “Eventually you will get it Magic begets magic.” I wished that I could believe her.
