This was a very cute story you penned here. I love the
concept of the air freshener can being converted into
a Monster Away Spray. I enjoyed reading this well written piece.

I see another label underneath that read "Lavender Scented Room Freshener." <<< What a moment... can just picture it!

Love the ending... worth every cent too! :)

This was one of my favorite!. And honestly, I sound senile at this moment, but I'm not sure if I voted for yours or another one. I often tend to pick stories about families and stories about love and redemption. Good to meet you and it is no small thing to be nominated when you think of the hundreds and hundreds that are posted monthly. I'm proud for us. Stan

Oh, the wonders of childhood and all the monsters there that fade away as we get older! I, too, loved monster movies like Frankenstein and the Werewolf, but could only watch them is my older brother (by six years) was watching with me. He was my monster spray since our rooms were side by side. I figured if anything came after me, Jimmy would beat them senseless and save the day.

Well done.

Hugs,

Maggie

    How nice to have a big brother. My daughter (the story is about her) was the oldest, so she had to try to be brave. Thanks for the review.

Hi, this is a lovely, charming story, nicely told and with a warm fuzzy ending.

Noticed a typo:
I'm going to spray this under you(r) bed and in your closet,"

Also,
'D-did she just use two of the most irresistible words in my vocabulary, "magically" and "scary" in the same sentence?'
The mother didn't use magically and scary, she only used magically.
Just a couple of little things in an entertaining story.

Congratulations at being nominated for Story of the Month and good luck in the voting :)

I have a three year old grandson that could use some monster spray. I'm going to go out and buy some! What a wonderful idea :) Congratulations on being entered in the Story of the Month contest. This is a great story.

What a truly heartwarming read this was, Magic Wand. I love the idea of monster spray and wish that someone had thought of that for me. I spent many years - well into my teens - sleeping with my head covered by blankets. Like you, I was and am addicted to suspense. Great job, my friend. Glad to see so many resonated with your personal memory. Warm regards, Bev

    Thank you for the kind words. Although I wrote it in first person, it was the story of my oldest daughter. The picture is of her oldest daughter.

    Yes, my daughter laughed at the line that I wrote about my brilliance.
