Lunasa Days

There’s a dwindling late in summer, a sadness. And a loner on the roads. He left a life that wasn’t bad. Everyone said he was good at his job, even his boss.

But when he was young he knew something. He had a fate, a reason to exist. He never quite found it, and every autumn it slipped further away.

He stopped one day for food. A gas station, like any other, but the man there was friendly. Bored. He liked the look of the young guy with his bike, and he spoke to him.

“Where you headed?”

It was a hard question.

“Well, what do you do?”

Vagabond. Can you say vagabond? Is that a career?

He looked aside.

“I cast spells,” he said.

The man had some work for him.

Lúnasa Days is a modern literary fable about the search for a purpose in life, and how difficult that is to find. It follows Bailey, a magician who has lost his faith in his powers—but not his will to explore.
