Sylvia had always been a strong believer in using physical labor over magic when possible -- after all, she dug up 90% of her bodies with a wood shovel -- but dear God was she wishing her powers weren’t locked by some mysterious force right about now.  She was attempting to carry a large -- and heavy -- amount of groceries from the store back to her small house.  It would be nice if she could use a levitation spell right about now.

She was carrying multiple bags up both arms, and then stacked some bags on top of each other to hold in her hands.  The teetering pile was constantly on the edge of falling over, but if she walked slowly enough she seemed to be in good shape.  Now!  To walk 3 more mile back home!  Sylvia counted down the number of steps she had to take in her head as she hobbled along the sidewalk.

Unfortunately for her, the bags were piled just a little too high and she couldn’t see the pole right in front of her until she smacked right into it.  Her large pile of groceries scattered as she dropped them; she jerked backwards and tripped as her shoe got caught in a gap in the concrete.  Sylvia landed flat on her back accompanied by the groceries still mercifully anchored to her forearms.  She blinked as she looked up, realizing she nearly took out another woman with her when she fell.

Welcome home, Candace!
