SYBIL
I SWEAR, IF THAT pounding didn’t stop soon, I was going to cut a bitch.
Or in this case, the ridiculously hot naga next door. I’d gone over to say
hello the day he moved in and oh, wow. He was yummy.
Yummy, but loud. The god-awful racket had started the day after he’d
moved in and had continued on and off ever since. It had been days.
Desperate for some sleep, I’d called the front desk to complain last night,
but by the time security had arrived, everything had gone silent. Then, it
had started up again this morning.
Bang.
The whole side of my wall rattled, and along with it, the paintings I’d
gotten at the local art show. Luckily, they were canvases and not mounted
behind glass, so even if they fell, it wouldn’t be too dangerous. But still.
Bang. Bang.
This time, the console table with all my carefully-arranged candles and
crystals shook. Sighing, I got up from my fluffy floor pillow to pull the
table away from the wall. I did not need everything in my carefully crafted
space messed up because my new neighbor decided to wrestle bears in his
condo. I needed all my shrines and magical artifacts to work, damn it.
I called it my organized mess. Some of the items had real magic and
boosted my powers. Others were there simply because I liked them. Either
way, being surrounded by things I loved helped whenever I had to call on
my magic to strengthen a ward, which was frequently.
People didn’t come to Auntie Syl’s Wards & Witchery unless they needed
privacy and/or protection from magical intrusion. I wasn’t Auntie Syl; that
was my late great granny, Sylvana. But Sybil was close enough.
Most of my clients had been with the company for a long time. So long that
the internet and email hadn’t existed yet. Sylvana had always resisted
modernization, preferring to keep all her handwritten notes, documents, and
everything else in a single metal filing cabinet that looked like it had
survived several nuclear detonations.
I’d spent weeks digitizing everything and transferring it all onto a very
well-secured laptop. That was one thing I’d had to figure out in recent
years: digital wards. We had developed a modicum of protection for
telephones and land lines, but this new world we lived in was everchanging.
Magic and technology weren’t all that different, really. I could feel radio
waves and Wi-Fi same as I could a strand of magic.
I couldn’t manipulate
them quite as readily, but I could easily disrupt a signal with good oldfashioned magic.
Salt and Pepper, my two pet ratties, poked their heads out of the hammock
hanging in their rat tree—a cat condo I’d modified for them. Salt pressed
his little hands on the edge of the hammock and stretched, yawning.
Gah! It was so freaking cute. People who were terrified of rats didn’t know
what they were missing.
