The Dinosaur and the Dragon Lady
Coming of age can happen anytime.
He married his childhood sweetheart. He married her twice, actually. They’d been engaged since that day on the beach when he was in sixth grade, but no one knew it but them.
He married her the first time the day after he graduated from high school, and they had to lie about their age and the state they lived in in order to do it. It had no legal standing, and neither one of them considered it any more (or any less) than a morally binding lifetime commitment to each other. When they got home, when they got back into the state they really lived in, she went home to her parents’ house next door, and finished school, and he got a job, and went to make a home for her. They were married, but no one knew it but them.
The Bumbler’s Apprentice
What is there that is ignoble in the fulfillment of destiny?
Streep thought he had it all figured out. He was apprenticed by mistake to a know-nothing old buffoon, Basil the Buffoon, who refused to teach him anything because Basil had no Gift except the curse of jealousy. Streep was destined to be a great wizard. He was going places, just as soon as he got past this one little trouble. Then along comes Bruno. Make me a sword, and just like that, his life is in turmoil. Make me a sword as long as you are tall, taller, even, just a bit, make me a sword that long and then I’ll go away and leave you alone.
But now his life will never be the same.
