Mike scratched his head. “Is that a metal raptor? Since when, are you into modern art?”
“Would you believe it’s my security guard,” said Connor.
“How does a sculpture guard anything?” said Mike
Connor snapped his fingers. “Raptor, security test.”
In a blink of an eye, legs emerged from the statue complete with sharp claws. Skin covered with green scales replaced the metal. One yellow eye stared at Mike. As the raptor moved closer on its hind legs, Mike lost his bladder.
“Raptor, end test.” He glanced at Mike. “Do you believe, I’m a wizard now?” said Connor.
Mike remained silent.

Really liked this story. Kind of stuff I love to read.
Magic s always fun to wrrite. Thanks for reading.
Lovely story. But I get confused as to which is the wizard. I thought the creature belongs to Connor, but later Mike claims the powers.
Thanks for catching the reversed names. It’s fixed.
Wonderful. It’s possible – there are some good sories in this week’s contributions about artificial intelligence. Yours fits right in.
I’ll check some of those out. Thanks.
Heh, at first I thought it was a robot, but magic is even better. A real life raptor–that would make anyone wet themselves. Perfect guard, lets hope it doesn’t escape… Great story.
Or worse, hurt an innocent running past.
Magical
Thanks for reading.
Cool, in a piss-in-your-pants kind of way.

I don’t think, I would’ve done any better.
“Available evidence would tend to indicate it, sir. Do you have a spare pair of pants I could borrow?”
Lol, nice retort.
Great stuff and scary enough for my grandson to love!
What’s cooler, albeit dangerous, than a living raptor.
Love it. Connor has a cool sense of humor and awesome powers.
Thanks, for Conor it’s just another day. I don’t think Mike feels the same.
