No one will believe me. Well I bet that’s what every budding superhero thinks at first. Maybe I shouldn’t worry about that right now.

Anyway it started when I was walking home late after my after school job sorting Merchandise at the local “junk in my pocket” store. I was just strolling down the empty alley a couple blocks from my Aunt Emma’s brownstone when I heard a crackling. It sounded kinda like energy would if it could be identified with a sound.

I clenched my hands into fists after stepping in a puddle (habit since I was little - I hated getting my shoes all wet)and I heard the sound again but louder this time. Clearer. It’s almost like it was saying something.

I felt something harden under my feet and when I looked down the puddle had frozen over. With my feet on top of it! What the flying fish was happening. I continued walking skeptically linking around and that’s when I realized something was way different. I was seeing some sort of glowing white aura around just about everything. The building signs, the telephone wires and even the street rat that scurried under the dumpster also surrounded by the glowing white aura. I checked to see if it was surrounding me too and when I looked at my hands they were glowing a white so bright I had to squint to see the outline of my fingers. This was absolutely nuts. I had no idea what was going on as I dropped my hands to my sides and started running into another alley. I crouched behind a dumpster and closed my eyes while counting to ten. I told myself it was late at night, I was tired and that when I opened my eyes all the glowing weirdness would go away cuz it was never really there. I cautiously peeled open one eye at a time and looked up from my lap. Nope I was wrong and everything was about to change.

So obviously the glowing wasn’t going away, so I figured I’d experiment with it. I turned around and waved my glowing hand toward the glowing dumpster I was just leaning against. The dumpster started to shake. And then I started to shake cuz I was pretty sure I had just did that. Then I decided to concentrate hard with my mind and focus on an empty cardboard box lying right next to the dumpster and before I could even comprehend what was happening it started floating. Off the ground! Floating! Then it dropped as I lost concentration while I was absolutely freaking out! I had magic... I had magic...I Had MAGIC!

I walked home with a skip to my step

A wicked smile to stay

Cuz I had magic in my fingers

And no one would get in my way
