Magic

by Elise Harbud

“‘Magic’ is a story about a university student, Phil, who decides he wants to play around with black magic. He does some research and carries out a sigil in his student house, trying to avoid the prying eyes and judgment of his housemates. Sleep-deprived and hungry, Phil’s magic doesn’t go exactly to plan.”
