A Delightful Delay
A micro fiction about magic's limitations
Angie sprinted through the shimmering door. Glittering fairies descended upon her when she crossed into their world and they led her, laughing, into a merry dance. With time frozen in the real world, eons stretched out before them in this magical realm. Many songs later, Angie's consorts returned the exhausted mortal to her own time and place.
Puzzled to find Angie asleep in the alley where he'd chased her just a moment before, the assassin shrugged. A job was a job.

At the beginning of Ramadan, I received a request from someone to write a story about his horror experience. There is a condition requested: the names in the story must be disguised and some parts must be omitted in order to avoid unwanted things. After considering everything, I agreed to write the story. But because of a lot of busyness, I was only able to write it after Eid.
