Saturday Matinee - Witch a Go-Go



She hated dancing at the club.....all the men that came there were such animals!!!!
Unfortunately, although she had massive power to alter reality, she was bound by the Witches Code that forbade her from using her powers to enrich herself!!!!
So she danced....after all a girl had to eat!!!!
Some nights were better than others and some were worse....this was one of the bad nights and it was all because of the four "gentlemen" sitting at the nearest table!
Unlike the others in the club they were loud and lewd and they shouted out requests for her to perform the dirtiest things she had ever heard!!!!
When her break came she hurried off to the dressing room rather than working the crowd for the twenty dollar cocktails that she hustled from the poor men.....she got half and she was good at it....but those four guys had made the whole idea very unappealing tonight!
She was angry and she could see the little purple sparks flying from her fingertips....little bits of magic that just flew out uncontrollably......she wasn't consciously controlling her power....it was like a runaway forest fire and she struggled to get it back under her control.....
It was those four.....they had really gotten to her.....they should see how it felt to be on stage like her....how it felt to listen to their vile comments.....how it felt to have to do this kind of work just to keep a roof over your head....how it felt to have so much power and not be allowed to use it......
Her mother had warned her......the Witches Council would punish errant witches in terrible ways for misusing their powers.....
But how she wished she could just make those four guys shut up.....she didn't want to kill them.....that was forbidden......she just wanted them to stop being so rude....
A burst of red sparks came from her left hand and she felt the familiar "whoosh" and she knew that she had accidentally changed reality......she wasn't sure at all what had changed but she felt the ripples continuing as the world continued to change around her....
She finally got her power under control just as the manager banged on her door to tell her that break time was over!!!!
She slowly made her way to the stage and looked around and found that her reality was still the same.....thank goodness!!!!
Reluctantly her eyes came to the table where the four idiots had been sitting and she suddenly realized what her accidental magical outburst had changed....
She smiled as they applauded so politely as she began dancing.....she smiled even more as she beckoned them to join her on stage.....
And they were good......and they had no reluctance to dancing topless.....something she had refused to do.....
The manager waited until the end of the evening......
"Honey, I've got to tell you I've always loved your dancing.....but I'm afraid I've got to let you go.....the customers are just wild about these new girls....."
New girls!!!! Yes they were new girls all right!!!!
She grabbed her things and stormed out the door......where two women stepped forward....
"Magda we are here to take you to the Witches Council where you will be expected to explain this reality change....."
"But it was an accident!!!!"
"You can explain that to the Council...."
 She was right about one thing....this was one of the worst nights she had ever had....

  1. Dee, a judge on the council, here to let you know that Magda was found innocent.

    Since she lost her job, her magic did not enrich her life at all. Magda does, however, have to wear safety gloves for everyone's protection on future job sites, so we suggest that she finds work in construction or bartending, places without much contact with harassment situations.

    1. Thanks for the update on Magda's case Judge Dee!!!
      This one took a strange twist on me about halfway through writing it and ended up with the "victims" happy and the "witch" in trouble!!!
      Sometimes these things just go differently than you planned....almost as if someone else was controlling me......Hey Dee!!!! You weren't casting any spells the other day were you???
      Kisses

    2. Not on Saturday. I was causing chaos at a comic book convention! Anything from Midnight until 2 AM on Friday night .. totally me!

      I totally understand. The caption I posted Sunday night started out with one thing, and I just ended up piling things on, one after another, until it was a bit of a perversion landslide .. with a seemingly harmless photo to go with it!
