Where Does The Magic Start?

It all started when I won a laptop at the lottery… That’s insane luck, I know! When I found out that it’s the most expensive and the newest MacBook model… Well, it left me speechless!

I’m a writer, so I thought “Cool, I will write my next novel on my new laptop!”. But then the package arrived, and I hadn’t expected this… Because it turned out to be a magical laptop! I swear! Magic started when I won the prize, but honestly… I saw sparks the moment I saw my new laptop… And I had a very particular feeling… I realized what it meant soon enough!

I started drafting my new novel, and what I experienced was truly magic. Work was going so smooth, and in my mind my new laptop was turning into a typewriter. When I was writing poetry that is a part of this novel… I could see how it was turning into an old-fashioned pen, and I saw sparks when I was writing! It honestly felt like it when the inspiration was streaming down my back…

Is it all about writing then? Absolutely not! Whatever I touch, turns into gold on my new laptop… I mean, I’ve been writing some important e-mails… And I got answers for all of them! And it all was always happy news… Splendid, isn’t it?

I feel like this tool has been sent my way by some divine and angelic beings, and I got this prize for a reason! Why do I think so? Well, the fact that everything that I write about eventually comes true… Made me think that it’s all a very strange kind of miracle!

Also, this is not some magical app or just a metaphor, but it’s all true! The idea of my laptop may be a little cliché, but at least it’s all true as I’ve already said!

And well… My word has such a power that it can change the world, I’ve learned the hard way. I can help my family and people in need this way. Because it’s a tool that can make your life easier and nicer! But the most important thing is a bigger prize that I got thanks to it…

When my new alternative history novel was finished, I couldn’t wait to show it to my readers… So, just two months later it was published… And it was all so different than all those times before! Because it became a bestseller at once! I mean, I already had the family of readers who keep coming back for more, but I also bought a little promotion as well… And it paid off really quick! I have no doubt that it’s all because of my magical laptop!

But that’s not all! Two years since the release I had a call… It was a very extraordinary call, indeed! Because from… Sweden! And what I heard was even more unbelievable…

– Marie Springtime, we are honored to tell you that you were chosen as the youngest Nobel prize winner in history in literature field. We want to invite you to the ball during which you will receive your medal and meet the king and queen. Congratulations!

At first, I thought that it’s a joke, but… A week later I got an invitation for this above-mentioned party! I was blown away… But yes, I packed immediately and was waiting for this event even though it was going to happen a month later… It was beyond my wildest dreams… So, my excitement was like from another dimension! Just like this whole story of my life!

The time of anticipation passed by so fast. I’ve spent the most of this time searching for a perfect dress, so ladies know how absorbing this kind of stuff is! But in the end, I stood in this wonderful red dress with tiny red roses in the room of my glory. It was called the ball, and it was truly the ball! Everybody was fancy dressed, everyone was so dignified, but what also surprised me the most… Everybody knew exactly who I am and where I came from! I was always invisible, so it was a profound change for me… But I earned it, so I was delighted.

In the end this moment came… I got my prize. The greatest prize the writer can imagine – the Nobel prize. And by the way, I met the king and queen. It looked like the queen also knew my book! Because she told me so many pleasant things about my work… I truly had tears of joy in my eyes all night long… And that’s not all that happened there then! Because I also met a man…

– Congratulations, milady – he said. – My name is Anthony, and it’s the great honor to meet you here.

He looked very charming. Black hair, blue eyes, elegant black suit… My first thought was that it’s how my main character met her husband… And it’s happening to me now as well!

– Good to see you too, my lord – I simply said, and he smiled.

Later I found out that he’s also a writer like me, and obviously he read my book too… So, we were talking about history and literature until the end of the night… And yes, not only we talked, but we also danced!

So, this is how it began… And now he’s my husband, indeed. He’s never let go of me since that very first moment we met…

Well, this one event – winning the laptop – changed my life forever. It made me believe that it was a very magical object that was meant to find me and make my life better. Without it, I wouldn’t be where I am right now… In my very own palace in United Kingdom. Without my lady about whom I authored my novel, I wouldn’t become one too... The only thing that I regret is the fact that me and my husband don’t have children… But who knows what kind of miracle may happen when I finish writing this story on my magical laptop! In the end this is where the magic begins… And I hope I’m not too old for that!

So, my dear laptop… Work your magic one more time, pretty please! I know you can do that for me! And there is nothing more I’ll ever need in my life… I could peacefully die then! Because who to leave this whole fortune for if not for our only child…?
