Molly the Magic Maker

How 'The Magic Makers' was created

The Magic Makers took shape quite slowly. One day, while stroking my beautiful and devoted cat Molly, I became enchanted by the faint streak of white on her otherwise black nose. Perhaps, I thought, she was created and then painted by a Magician who, finding her irresistible, had caressed her nose with his not-entirely-clean finger just before releasing Molly for her life on earth.
