Post Six: Trying Out An Old Skill

[witchofthechalk]

[If you are walking by 1670 Nelson street you'll see a strange sight. There is a small girl with a witches pointed hat sitting on the grass. She is wearing some large sensible boots that seem out of place with her normal outfit.

Oh and she also appears to be dead.
However if you look closer you can see a sign clutched in her hands that reads

I am not dead!

Approach?]

[She doesn't say anything, in fact she doesn't appear to be even breathing, just sitting there with the sign clutched in her cool hands]

...You ok, kid?

It was only a joke...

[Looks closer at you--kind of worried now ummkayy]

[There are a few more moments as she sits there as though dead. However life suddenly flickers into her eyes and she starts to breathe again. Untangaling her mind from the sparrow it had just been borrowing.]

...Hello?

[It finally dawns on Isak...]

Wait, were you dead...there for a second?

No, just practising my borrowing. I got some of my magic back.

Borrowing?

It's when you leave your body and borrow the mind of an animal.

...And what animal were you?

I was borrowing a squirel in the backyard.
