Hiding Place

By Marcus L. Rowland

"And this is why my cars blow up?"

"Afraid so," said Willow, "Didn't you notice he wasn't getting older?"

I stared at Rex. How old was he? Eight? Ten?

"Hamsters usually live about two years."

"I can't believe I never realised."

"Part of the spell," said Willow. "Once he's gone things should be more normal."

"Gone? I thought he was possessed."

"Nope. Haven't you read your Harry Potter? The guy who hides out as a rat?"

"He's a wizard?"

"Chaos mage. Disguised himself, couldn't turn back, amused himself wrecking your life." Willow picked up the cage. "Time to go, Ethan..."

Not 100% happy with it, any suggestions?

I just rechecked, and my count is off. No biggie, if you drop the "I'm" from the start of Willow's response.

Don't worry, I noticed - made some other changes anyway, and I always do a full check on Drabbles before posting.

Glad to hear it. BTW, your revision works extremely well.
