Things I had to start with: - Magic. - A family to run back to if this whole 'moving to the big city' thing went bust. - A lack of assumptions about what to expect (and yes, I'm counting that in the positives column). - A car and a new address to drive it towards. Things I knew I needed: - To finally move out of my parents' house. - A world as interesting on the outside as I am on the inside. - Scope. (For what? That remains to be discovered.) Things I found: - A really great fountain. (LOTS of really great fountains!) - Artistic excellence (and the artists to go with). - Two dragons and a selkie. - Humans somehow just as remarkable. - Magic, like and unlike my own. - And a very different verse of the oldest song I know: Family. https://ko-fi.com/DEshipley
