Lillian Wang and the Magic Window

Magic

It all started on a normal afternoon.

My name is Lillian Wang, and I love to draw. Painting, oil-pastel-ing, sketching, you name it. But what I’ve always absolutely loved to do since I was born was draw fantasy worlds. Squirting on a last bit of paint to a giant castle. Finishing drawing the last bit of a handsome prince fighting off an evil dragon. Coloring in the small pea hiding under dozens of mattresses. I’ve loved doing all that.

But I knew that wasn’t real. I knew that magic didn’t exist.

That is, until I moved into the red-bricked house I live in now.

The moment I had gone into my bedroom and looked out of the window, my disbelief for magic began to falter.
