"KIDS.......KATS.....AND BOYS NAMED FERNANDO"
There are good witches and there are not so good witches. My name is Fayth, I am young but I am a good and loving witch. Most of the people I cast my spells on don't even know I exist but my closest friends all know what good deeds I try to do. I have three favorite spells that I excel in. My first favorite is the "Serenity Spell" which I use for the little children at the Children's Hospital. My second favorite spell is the one I cast on kats so that we can communicate (occasionally on other animals too) and this spell is the "Dolittle Spell." My third favorite is a more personal one, and it is called the "Fernando Spell."
I made up the Serenity Spell a short time after I visited my friend, Elizabyth in the hospital. She was only ten years old when she found out she had a very serious disease. The hospital she went to was for children only. It was a very colorful hospital, and it had brightly painted flowers and animals on the walls. Music was playing most of the day I believe it was Sillyville. However, as I was walking down the halls one night I felt something strange. Since I am a witch I am really quite psychic. As I passed each room that night I had a clear vision of what each child was thinking about. Some were thinking of family and friends, their favorite toys, their loving pets, and worried that no one even missed them anymore. Each child thought a different thought but they all had one thing in common, the fear of going to sleep and having nightmares. They all had bad dreams every night and missed their moms!
My heart ached for them and that feeling stayed with me for many days and that was when........................
TO BE CONTINUED!

Talking about cliffhangers! You are wicked, wicked, so sweetly wicked! I can hardly wait for part two. I can't wait to see how Fayth makes the lives of the sickly youngsters more bearable. This story touched my heart. I used to work with terminally ill patients; adults, usually, but I would visit the children ward and your story reminded mo of the look on their faces every time I sat on the floor with them and we made up stories.

Hi Debbie! Wow another person in the medical field! It seems that creative people have kind and giving hearts! I agree with you about the fears anyone might experience while being in a hospital setting...whether young or old...we can all feel vulnerable when we are not in the comfort of our home.

ReplyDeleteDeborah, I was a case manager, first for burned children, then service members who were seriously injured in the current war, and lastly for individuals infected with/affected by HIV and AIDS. I loved my work and I miss my Wicked Darlings (yes, I used to call them that) all the time. I think I started valuing my blessings after I saw life through their courageous eyes.
ReplyDeleteI love the story of Fayth so far. I can see by her sweet smile and the lovely painting above the hospital entrance, that it is a kind place. But no matter, I can understand how the children cannot escape their nightmares. Oh I hope Fayth can help them!!!! And I would love to be included in your Drawing..thank-you, Deborah!
