alternate worlds

Bodhi wanders into the kitchen, encloaked in a blue dinosaur towel.

'I'm Magic Alex.'

'Can I pick you up and give you a cuddle, Magic Alex?'

'Yes, because I'm only a big boy - I have no parents...' He gazes into the distance, eyes glowing blue, face a stoic, yet tragic, chubby mask.

'You can be my parents if you want to. I looked after myself. I made fires...'

I sympathise and put him down again.

'I have a red dragon for a pet.'

He is :)

It can be a bit relentless though, when you're just trying to get on with the dinner etc :)
