The Magic Clothesline Scott Hume

As humans, most of us want to believe in something more, more than what we see in our average daily lives. We want to believe that anything is possible. We want to believe that good triumphs over evil. Through magic, many things beyond what we can normally see or do are possible. This is a story of magic, of how, on one magical night during an unusual storm, strange blue lightning appears and strikes an ordinary clothesline in an ordinary backyard of an ordinary family. What happens next is anything but ordinary! Because of the lightning strike to this ordinary clothesline, certain intimate objects come to life once they are hung on it. The things that come to life don't just simply start to move, they develop personalities and relationships with one another. They oversee all of what happens in their ordinary backyard. They especially watch over the two children (Sandy and Elliot) and the special gift they bring home one day.
