This is a terrible story, about a story we don't even know.
We know that the world ended, but whether from nuclear bombs or zombies we are not quite sure.
What we are sure of is that it ended, and that generations later, we are what's left.
The world is being rebuilt. But not in the way it was, but in the way some of us think it was.
There are a few elite cities run by those who think they knew.
And then the outsiders, those of us, that know we don't know anything.
Then, there is magick.
Yes I know, you think it's that mystical thing that conjurers up spells that wizards used. But actually it is a bit of dust, faerie dust, so to speak
And magick, makes the world work. It makes all those things that still go bump in the night, not see us. It means that we are safe if we take regular doses of it.
That's where the problem comes in. Very few can see magick and when we see it we collect it during our travels, but the elites want magick so their lives can continue to improve and we, those precious few who see magick are their tickets.
The mystics they call us, and they send those to find us.
Magick has a few unexpected benefits if mystics use it, and those are very interesting.
I am Anna, and I am a mystic, as is my son. We travel, we hide and we try live a life away from the cities.
But now they have heard of us and they are coming.

This short story gets the mind tingling. Seems like it could be the beginning of an awesome book.
Thank you :) that really does make me happy.
That sounds really cool, I love these type of stories. Do you plan a next part?
Oo well, this was written probably a good 4 years ago, so it sits in my head until I get it down, lol, but I have been toying with the idea of writing a book. This could be my sign
I love where this could go... so many possibilities ! If writing a whole book seems daunting, just do a bunch of short stories when an idea comes into your head. Some can be linked, others just set in the same world. Over time, the depth, detail and richness will grow, and you'll find that there are some characters you introduce that really work well for you. Then, those short stories can either become an anthology, or at least provide detail for if you decide to write a book.
You need to do it, because I want to read more from this setting ! 😁
Hehe I am blushing majorly at the compliments.
Honestly this is how I dream, so most things pop up in a dream, I write it down and then it sits.
Writing is very daunting because I don't feel they are any good.
Maybe this is a prompt that I need to get the world building in action
This is great 😀 can't wait to read more!
Thank you so much
