Magic Smoke Rings

There was an ethereal quality about Elspeth That made her a force we did not want to double cross. She could blow smoke rings into faces for one thing. I know, it sounds crazy, but I was there. I saw it happen. Worse, the voices have mouths that talk. She can think Dr. Martin Luther King, and not only does she conjure his face, His voice appears and begins to talk. The best one she ever conjured was Robin Williams. He made us laugh for the full three minutes before he disappeared.

Magic indeed. Reminds me of Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings movie where his smoke turns into a sailing ship that sails through the other's smoke ring. Delightful to read, Caren.
