A Father’s Gift

By: Victor Dyson

What is a father’s gift? Is it the power gifted by birthright? Or is it the precious moments you get with your child? For Sam, who grew up surrounded by magic and the stories of his uncles, the answers to those questions crash into one another, redefining his normal.

Sam’s mother had left when Sam was only five years old to protect him from an evil wizard that hungered for his power. His father was that evil wizard. Sam had been left in the care of Ervin and Eugene his uncles - hunters of evil magic and demons. At first, it was exciting to feel like a hero, but self-doubt and his anxieties cause Sam to feel like an outcast. After years of fighting the dark forces alongside his uncles, Sam walks away in pursuit of a normal life. However, those dark forces and his own magic would not simply be forgotten. Now with a child of his own, Sam is forced to face is his inner demons as he fights real demons and more to protect his family.
