Loved the ficlet! "It is actually an accident that the word count of the ficlet is also 144 on this site . . ."  I do not know why I got such a kick out of that remark! Made me laugh because I thought 'maybe no accident but magic!' It also made me think of a quote I ran across recently. I had seen it before but never knew where it came from. “We must not let in daylight upon magic.” Walter Bagehot 1826–77, English economist and essayist, The English Constitution (1867.

Thank you very much, Oshun! I'm glad you enjoyed the ficlet!

I admit I don't like divergences in word count as much when my drabbles no longer have 100 words on cross-posting. But this time the Archive really threw a gift word count in my lap! Site magic! I guess I did let the daylight in on it a bit, but I am glad we both had fun with it!
