Magdalena and the Mysterious Living Space

a children's book based upon the film of the same name


"Take two deep breaths; give and take two more.

Breathe your eye open to the wonder shore.

Apocalypse never, betterment now,

Open your mind to find who and how."

                     -  Magdalena M.


Water vapor plays tricks on her eyes and the greenest leaves quiver on the morning sun wakes. Magda steps slowly toward the butterfly, bigger than two of her, bigger than any human she's seen.

SWAAPAAPAP! The giant insect flutters and alights, gusting Magda's hair up as if she's being electrocuted to death.

On the corner of the land of Nustia, Magdalena feels as forgotten as the environs and their inhabitants.

She reaches her longest finger until the tip senses a vibrating current.

The bars and beams sporadically emit a hazy green glow.
