Magic Fairy in the Microwave

Magic Fairy in the Microwave

by Dara Murphy

Sarah Williams is an ordinary girl. Or is she?

Is she a girl with an overactive imagination? A girl who has trapped herself in her own mind? Or is the narrator the one doing the trapping, conducting Sarah in her world of woe?

This is a fast physical extravaganza with guns, knives, and blood. Kittens will be harmed. You have been warned.
