Genre: Fiction
Word Count: 103 (oops! 2 times in a row)
Hope & Faith
In the muggle world..
“….. Haggers’ managed to shoot down the burglars, but lost their lives. The night of the crime, witnessed a heavy thunderstorm…. Kelly Ronnel reporting live….”
********
At the ministry of magic, the Minister addressed his assembly.
“Nature deprived humans of magic, but made up by endowing them with hope and faith. Wizards were entrusted to protect nature’s source of hope and faith, the two lamps. The thunderstorm was a dark magic spell, that prevented any assistance from the ministry, to the Aurors. Fortunately the lamps, remain in the realm of the earth. Without it humanity would have lost the will to live.”

Dear Shreyank,
I come on the heels of other comments and echo their sentiments on the symbolism of the lamps. Nice take on the prompt.
shalom,

Thanks Rochelle for stopping by 🙂 i enjoyed the photo prompt this week and eagerly waiting for the next one 🙂

Thanks Kz.. I enjoyed ur take on the story too.. it was different and a suspense till the end 😉 🙂
Nicely done.
thanks Sandra 🙂
I’m not a HP fan so maybe I’m just confused, but why do you say “humans” were deprived of magic rather than “muggles”? Like others, I enjoyed the symbolism of the two lamps – the importance of hope and faith shouldn’t be underestimated
yes i could have used the term muggles there. i think i wrote humans because i wasn’t sure if muggles came out in a derogatory tone. Since the minister of magic was amicable while referring to non magical people i used humans ! I think maybe i did too much of thinking on this one 🙂 thanks for reading 🙂
Where would we be without hope and faith. Strong pillars that give mankind something to cling to.
Yes I feel the same way. thanks for stopping by..
