I had the wonderful opportunity to stumble across David Ellis, a handsome British poet/magician and a man of various skills. I had so much fun writing this and I am very sure there are too many to follow. This is my first Daily Prompt and  I hope I do it right. Lol, I could ever get the hang of it fully. Still, I am trying.. sweating.. still trying 😀
