Excellent A Magician*s fantasy becomes a scary reality. Marlon*s date with destiny by Terry Reilly 100 Word Story writing prompt entry Artwork by MKFlood at FanArtReview.com

Marlon the Magician was a practitioner of the dark art. Black Magic. He lived in a remote cave, with his white mouse Mortimer, companion and assistant. Marlon was timid. Shy and awkward with people, particularly women. Solitude suited him. However, loneliness could be oppressive. He longed for the warmth of a feminine touch. Today, he made his final decision. He would turn Mortimer into a human female. Mortimer shivered on the cold floor, frightened, expectant. Marlon, wearing his magic cloak, waved his wand extravagantly. "Simsalabim," he intoned. A sudden flash illuminated the cave. Mortimer had vanished, replaced by a voluptuous woman with long blonde tresses. Marlon was transfixed by her naked beauty. "C'mon big boy. Let's have some real fun," she smirked, winking and posing. This was too much for the pusillanimous prestidigitator. Marlon fled from the cave, shrieking, "mummy, daddy, save me. Help!" What a wimpy coward! Writing Prompt Write a story that is between 100 and 150 words. The trick is you must use the following words: art, final, beauty, sudden, coward.
