Jacques sighed as he looked at his notes; he tried visiting with Alec’s family again, but nothing. He hadn’t had any more leads. Jacques made his way to the landlord’s apartment; maybe he’d have some information. “Simon! I know you’re in there,” a woman yelled at the landlord’s door. “Excuse me,” Jacques asked. “Are you…

“So, how do you know this man again?” David asked as he stared out the car window in wonder. They had stopped at the gate of a huge mansion. They were waiting for the security guard. “He was a roommate back in college,” Cassidy responded. “We interacted a few times when I was a police…

“How did this happen?” Sophia asked, staring at the mirror. Her hands shook as she stared with bafflement at her new body. She pinched herself. “It’s real. You did this?” “I found some magic a short time ago,” David said. “Now, whoever I touch becomes younger.” He thought it best to leave the part about…

Midas Touch: Chapter 5
“What do you mean you’ve got an idea?” David asked. “If you think I’ll go around transforming people just because you want to experiment, you’re dead wrong.” “Hear me out first,” Alec responded. “You don’t know anything about your power except that people change into girls whenever you touch them.” Alec glanced at the female…

Midas Touch: Chapter 4
“Oh, oh oh! Take that!” Sam said, energetically. David couldn’t help but smile; apparently, she became much more confident and aggressive when she played video games. “Yes! I win again. Did you see that David?” “Yes, yes. I was the one you killed,” David replied. He turned to look at Riley, who was sitting on…

Midas Touch: Chapter 3
“I’m so nervous,” Sam said staring down the street and waiting for the bus. “What if they don’t like me?” “You’ll do fine,” David responded. “It’s impossible not to like you.” “What about you?” she asked. “Will you be alright here by yourself?
