The Magic Box, Tuesday
It was Norman's first day at work! In a magic shop, granted, which back in Blithe Hollow would have been pretty much his only option anyway. Well, magic shops peddling card tricks and magician silks, or kitschy places like witch-themed pizza shops or corner stores. This was sort of a step up from that. And his employer seemed pleasant enough, even if he was so deathproof that Norman's senses tried to kind of slip on by him.
Magic shop. The real kind. The kind where the cards were tarot decks, the wands weren't made of cheap plastic, and the selection of books on the topic mostly didn't have 'For Dummies' in the title. Mostly.
It was weirdly relaxing. Maybe Norman had no idea what to do with most of this stuff, but he felt sort of like he belonged here. That was a feeling he was still getting used to. He settled in with a cup of tea and a book off the shelf about interpreting visions, occasionally wandering the shop to straighten up after a customer or see if he could find any of the things that were mentioned in the book.
It was nice.
