A/N: Many thanks to Reddit's /r/fanfiction subreddit for the prompts. These were originally published as part of a different drabble collection on another site, but I thought it best to condense them by fandom here.
May 1: Your character believes in magic! Or maybe they don't and have a pretty good reason why. Show us what your character believes or doesn't believe. (400 Words)
Johnny Smith didn't believe in magic. No, that was crazy. That was nonsense. He'd always prided himself on being a teacher - a man of science. There was always a reasonable and logical explanation for everything. Even after waking up from a six year long coma and suddenly having touch-based premonitions, he still didn't believe in magic, despite all the fan mail pouring in to him, claiming that's exactly what he was: magical.
When he touched the letter from the mother of four all the way in Iowa who was asking for a way to find her missing husband and he was struck with a vision of a man laying dead in an alley, a needle in sticking out of his arm, Johnny knew it wasn't magic.
Touching another letter written by a desperate father in Rockford, he saw a little boy, no older than three, hooked up to several monitors and IVs in a hospital bed.
Then there was the letter from the little girl right there in Cleaves Mills, asking him if he could tell her if her dog was with her grandmother in heaven. The vision he got of the little girl being struck by her stepfather was enough to make Johnny sick. He would need to call Walt immediately about that one. He put aside the letters and reached for his cordless phone.
No, there was nothing magical about what he saw. If magic did exist, he wouldn't need the visions at all.
