for Sadje’s What Do You See? photo prompt.
No audio today I’m afraid because I’ve got a bit of a cold and I’d hate for you to catch it from me whilst listening!

I bought one of those copper bracelets, the ones that are supposed to cure your aches and pains. I don’t often get aches and pains but I’ve always believed that prevention is better than cure.
When the skin on my wrist started turning green I was concerned that it had a magical quality that was about to turn me into a Shrek lookalike! Happily, it didn’t. Apparently, copper objects to sweat and body lotions and sometimes shows its disapproval by giving the moisturised perspirer a green mark.
You’ll probably think I’m going a bit doolally, but I do believe it’s a bit magical. Take the other day for instance. I was fiddling with it when I bought a lottery scratch card, and I won some money. Not a lottery, just a litteley but it made me think!
There’s a girl I quite fancy. I saw her in the street yesterday and touched my bracelet wishing one day she’d fall for me. She tripped on a wonky paving slab and fell into my arms! Well, it almost worked!
I was struggling to find something to write about earlier on, so I stroked my copper cooperator hoping it would come up with a clever story for me, and this is the result.
What do you mean it’s just disproved my theory? Okay, please yourselves.

Really? In that case, I will!
Imaginative indeed, Keith. I think the bracelet is working its magic quite well.

What a lovely magical tale Keith🌹
I’m pleased you like it, thank you so much.

Thanks, Nancy! I took your advice and lo ‘n behold, it worked!
Excellent! Glad you’re feeling better!

Seems it’s not so bad after all!
Haha! Keith, you are the best.
Wish you good luck that it never loses its charm. A pleasant story.
Even though you didn’t narrate this story, I still tried to read it with your accent in my head. You’ve got some great moments in this piece. I loved the lottery / littlery, and the I hoped she fall for me / she tripped into me.
