Archie surveyed the garden and confirmed that the rosebushes were just as dead as they had been five minutes ago. Their desiccated flowers drooped gloomily and leaves fell to the ground as his robes brushed against them. Archie scrubbed his hands over his face and muffled a scream. Then he pulled his wand from his pocket and drew a doorway in the air. It opened to the woods south of town, and he stepped through into a garden that was more alive.
