The Forgotten Broomstick [50 Word Story]
Gertrude took off her reading glasses and massaged the bridge of her nose. She pushed aside boring paperwork and got up.
She went down to the basement. A black cauldron sat empty. An old broomstick teetered against a wall.
She grinned.
A quick buzz around the block wouldn’t hurt anyone.
Sometimes we all need a break. Even a witch. Why not pick up an old hobby you once enjoyed or relish in a simple pleasure. I'd suggest doodling, singing or boiling up potions.
My last entry for @jayna's 50 word challenge was pretty dark so I wanted to lighten it up this week with the prompt witch. I hope you enjoyed it!
And if you are in the mood for another lighthearted halloween tale, please check out my latest story:
Good for her!! A couple of flights around the block, and feck it, she should make a bit of an auld potion for old times sake :o) Really nice interpretation 👍
Thank you @ablaze. Zippin' round and some eye of newt potion sounds like a blast for Gertrude :)
A witch of the 21st century came to my mind with the internet in her house that suddenly returned to her past with the broom. Congratulations for your story @cizzo
Thank you @felixgarciap
And yes, I was going with a modern witch that doesn't get up to much witchcraft these days. But the old ways are sometimes best.
Aw! This is actually very charming. Nice work, @cizzo!
Thank you @jayna!
