  • "Remember, there is always something that is quicker that you are." Merlin continued like that for a bit before he realized that Arthur had ditched him long ago. He stopped and
  • "Little quip!" Merlin cursed. But Arthur was off chasing toads and playing with water bugs. Merlin had had enough it was time to teach you Arthur a lesson. Alacazam! Arthur was now
  • a full inch shorter than before. "Take that!" said Merlin, but Arthur didn't mind at all, if fact he was happy because it brought him closer to his beloved pond creatures. "Look
  • Merlin, that Barracuda's smiling at me! Make me even smaller so I can talk to him!" Merlin sighed, and waved his wand. But instead of making him smaller, Arthur was transformed
  • into a 1965 Plymouth Barracuda. "Vroom, vroom," said Arthur as he drove into the water and crushed the fish. Then he turned to Merlin and honked his horn. Merlin could not

    PurpleProf, I almost read your comment as "stranger than necessary". I like this one a lot, especially with Futique's mention of speed in line 1 echoed in foldmeonce's line 9. Yes, I think it is exactly as strange as necessary.
