Julia squatted down on her haunches on the sidewalk like a toddler, and put her head in her hands and laughed and cried at the same time. She felt like she was going to pass out or throw up or go insane. She had tried to walk away from the disaster, or run away from it, she really truly had. She'd broken her staff and drowned her book and sworn off magic forever. She'd moved on and left no forwarding address... But it hadn't been enough. Magic had come looking for her. She hadn't run far enough or fast enough, or hid herself well enough, and the disaster had tracked her down and it had found her. It wasn't going to let her go.
"Goodbye, my ordinary life... It was fun while it lasted..."
