I mis-spelled the magical because I think it's fanciful and I don't care what you think.

I am fascinated by myths.

What I like the most about them are the unexpected crossovers between the myths of different cultures. Like dragon myths.

As I was waiting on for the uptown R at Whitehall the other day I was struck by how the train roared while coming around the turn to the station and how the lights glowed like flames. Sleek and fast and dangerous and in the summer the subway breathes fire indeed.

It's just one of the majikal creatures in a city that I think is full of myth.
