Magic, Mystery, a little Whisky, and a Cat

Best Laid Plans

It’s been a nasty, hot summer and the dog days bit me right where it hurts. I haven’t posted in a couple of months, but I’m baaaaaack.
And it’s one of my favorite times of the year—the countdown to Halloween. I’m already seeing loads of spooky, haunted, scary posts.
Each week, Rochelle manifests a photo prompt and the rest of us mere mortals are tasked with the challenge of responding to it in 100 words or less. Join us at http://rochellewisofffields.wordpress.com/2014/09/10/12-september-2014/.

Best Laid Plans

They say you can trap a witch in a mirror.   Catch her soul. They say. Break the mirror. They say. She’ll be imprisoned for ever. That’s what they say.

But mirrors work both ways. If you know the trick.

Which I do.

Across my floor, shards of glass reflect moonlight. Inside each one a tiny torch-bearing figure. Some pound the glass. They can’t believe what just happened. Some accept their fates quietly. They stare out at me with sad eyes. Hoping I will have mercy.

I broom them up and dump them in the recycle bin.

Will they never learn?
