Blaze has come down with a nasty cold. Just his luck – this is a magical flu. Every time Blaze sneezes, weird things happen.

Presently, his desk lamp is a fluffy rabbit that refuses to be picked up.

That’s nothing compared to the case he has to try and work through. An exceedingly wealthy wizard who specialises in anti-curse charms has had his magic stolen. If Blaze can solve the case in time, the reward would be well worth it.

If only the mischievous pixies would leave him alone.

Colin Blaze is a (possibly private) detective cursed by a witch to have only cases that no right-thinking person would ever believe were real. The witch hoped that Blaze would be discredited and forced to quit. Instead, Blaze is the champion of the bizarre and marginalised oddities of London.

This prompt features a character (Colin Blaze) from a shared and Open Source character collection. You are free to use Colin Blaze in any way so long as you give us appropriate credit. I (Matt) am longing to see the fiction that gets written about Blaze. I’m literally begging you to post a story or two about this strange detective.
