Brooding under the tenuous moon, the wicked witch sat reflecting about her current lover, who of course didn’t really appreciate her genius, the wimp. She’d dump him.
Though beautiful, her heart was a black hole. Everything and everyone that came too near, got sucked up, transformed and spit out as an appendence of herself. She avoided mirrors. Like Dorian Grey’s portrait they showed her the dissipation caused by her wickedness. Strangely, she was woman enough to wonder why no one really loved her.
A cat spied her sitting on a park bench. It saw her aura, so prudently slipped away.

This post is written for Friday Fictioneers and I’m submitting it to Tale Weaver as well, as it speaks of a “wicked witch” of sorts.

Why are most witches ‘wicked?’ Need to see a wicket witch on the pitch at a cricket match – or a licked witch! Thank you for your words G:)

I think a wicket witch would be interesting – but she’s not really mean, it just that that’s how they wrote her part 😉

Ah yes, I remember now. I have Kindle and got another Kobo and often I read on my phone at night (have Kobo, Kindle and Google) so I fall asleep with the phone in my hand…haha and have to reread the last 8 or 10 pages the next day. Can you not get it to go on your laptop?
