Umm...okay? Sorry?

Riding the F-Line to work today, I had one of the local transients walk up to me and say the following before returning to his seat:

"You shouldn't do that magic. It's not good for you."

I was unaware that I was practicing the dark arts while staring blankly out the window! Guess I should be more careful next time.

On the other hand, the idea of someone who has the gift of magic but can only use it when they're not paying attention (or not conscious of it) would make a nifty character trait, would it not? :p

How very Harry Potter.

It sounds like SF is a pure hotbed for creative writers...

What would the school be called in SF? There is already one on the East Coast in the HP realm: The Salem Witches Institute...

Talk about the perfect place for a counter-culture school...

At least they warned you and we aren't reading a headline about how a transient killed someone on the F-line to save everyone from the magic they were doing!

Sounds like a story in the waiting. I'd read it :^D
