I Spell Trouble
I despise liars, don’t you?
They possess a certain smugness, arrogance derived from being less gullible, more deceitful than the average person. They are constrained by the ordinary, however.
Emilio most of all.
To Emilio a rose is a rose. A cat is a cat. A black cloud looming overhead means rain. And me? Well, I’m a woman of no discernible talents.
To me a rose is a spell. A cat is pyewacket. A black cloud looming overhead spears lightning. And me? I’m the most vindictive witch, quite literally, he’ll ever encounter.
Bad day to ride a scooter, Emilio.

Dear Sascha,
I’m not a big fan of liars either. Oh dear, watch out Emilio. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you so much, Rochelle! 🙂
😃
hehe Thanks! 🙂
Oh I loved that simmering ending… stand back, everyone.
Yes! heh. Thanks, Sandra! 🙂
I really liked the voice of the story teller – full of crackling malevolence and spite ! Poor old Emilio – he better watch out.
Thank you. (Sometimes it’s fun to write in a voice like this!) 🙂
Emilio picked the wrong woman to lie to. Stupid man deserves all he gets. Lovely writing Sascha
Thank you, Lynn! 🙂
My pleasure Sascha
🙂
Great story, Sascha! I love your punning title, too!
Thank you! 🙂
I love this. This guy will learn a lesson, if he lives through it. I love the voice of the witch.
Thank you! 🙂
Liar, liar, his pants will soon be on fire! I love the title of your post. Liars get away with too much. But not this one. Way to go, I say.
hehe. Thank you, Fatima! 🙂
It might be nice and a little scary to have such powers, especially when emotion is the black cloud that covers better judgment.
I think if she used it constantly she would have been done away with. Must have been something bad that Emilio did… 🙂
Emilio’s going to get exactly what he deserves. Liars. Horrible people.
Yes indeed! Thanks, Linda! 🙂
I feel Emilio may deserve a second chance in life to learn from his mistake.. but he isn’t going to get one!
I somehow suspect that someone of Emilio’s ilk has received more than a few second chances. 🙂
Thanks, Iain!
