Blink of Reality

Write a story in which a ubiquitous object suddenly gains a magical property, affecting the daily lives of everyone.

Magic realism is renowned for interlocking fantastical elements within everyday reality. In this story, think of a familiar object – like a mirror, an alarm clock, or a teacup – that suddenly has a magical ability. How does it affect the norms of society? Does it bring harmony or chaos? This prompt allows you to transmute the ordinary into extraordinary, thereby exploring the nuanced depths of human adaptability and resilience in the face of the unusual.
