Section 1: Fantasy Short Story
Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a young girl named Eliza. Eliza had a peculiar allergy - she was allergic to magic. Whenever she came into contact with anything enchanted, her skin would break out in hives and she would start sneezing uncontrollably.
One day, Eliza's parents decided to surprise her with a magical bed. It was said that anyone who slept on this bed would have their dreams come true. Excitedly, Eliza climbed into her new bed and fell fast asleep.
But as she slept, a strange lump began to form under her pillow. It grew bigger and bigger, until it was the size of a basketball. Eliza woke up to find herself face to face with a talking lump.
"Who are you?" Eliza asked, her eyes wide with astonishment.
"I am Lump," the lump replied, its voice echoing through the room. "I am the embodiment of all the dreams that
have come true on this bed."
Eliza's allergies kicked in, and she started to sneeze. "I'm sorry, Lump, but I can't stay here. Magic makes me sick."
Lump sighed. "I understand. But before you go, I have one request. Please find someone who can appreciate the magic of this bed and let their dreams come true."
Eliza nodded, her heart heavy with regret. She bid farewell to Lump and left the enchanted bed behind.
