Finish the story begins with: “From her small balcony, the witch watched the world go by.”
All she saw most days was a lot of bad and ugly and occasionally some good.
The world had gone crazy she thought. Then again a lot had changed she had to admit. Even the house she now lived in was a modern construction and nothing like the ginger bread one she first lived in.
Where once she plied her trade of spells and potions with ease around the district now days there had been a great change in the way goods were made and distributed.
She had to learn to use computers; set up an online ordering business and worst of all learn the ins and outs of money. A spell or potion for a chicken was no longer the way to go.
Her once lofty reputation was now days a name and a memory she thought as she logged on to see if there were any new orders.

Life must be tough for her, poor lady. She’ll probably have a lot of weirdos contacting her. I hope she has PayPal and an eBay accounts. It would make things so much easier for her. If she could get a good positive feedback designation of 100% from eBay, she’ll be set 🙂
Word limit prevents me from going into her spells and potions but rest assured she is on a winner after all she learnt a lot from her days in the gingerbread house….
Got to change with the times! Wow, what a difference from a gingerbread house to computerization! Good story!
Thank you so much Yolanda fir reading and your comment. Some witches live a long time.
I wonder if she dressed in her rags and hat whilst logging in 😀
No she was a very good modern witch Jenny, including the ugg boots in the winter.
Sounds very familiar 😉
Every witch way she tries spells success.
I agree totally Keith no matter which way will be a witch success way. Thanks for stopping by.
It’s tough being a witch these days 🙂
Never ending hard work I can assure you…lol…thanks for stopping by have a good day….
I had to smile when I read that she use to live in a gingerbread house. Makes me wonder if she ever said what she did with Hansel and Grettal. LOL! I really enjoyed this story Michael and I’m afraid she is like the rest of us, having to move into the computer age and such.
Thanks Joy yes the bane of living now isn’t it keeping up with all the changes that allow us to communicate.
Yes, that is the truth. It changes so quickly.
Interesting story with a universal appeal… Loved it:)
Thanks so much Shivangi, glad you were able to stop by.
Michael, did you get the FFfAW challenge post last night and/or this morning? I sent that out 3 times and I don’t think everyone got it. I thought I would ask you if you got it. Sorry to bother you over in Barb’s challenge, but I just needed to know. Thanks!
Yes Joy it arrived twice or is it three times now..lol….I’ll send you something very soon….
I was afraid it was getting across the ocean. Thank you Michael, I was worried that everyone didn’t get the challenge post. I have had people tell me they only got the one I sent this morning. So something strange is going on.
Keeping up with the changing times is not easy, especially when you’ve lived as long as the witch! An entertaining story, Michael. 🙂
Thank you Louise, glad you could stop by…
The time shift in your story was well done Michael. Nicely done! Thank you for participating in the Mondays Finish the Story challenge. Be well… ^..^
Thanks Barb, I hope you are doing ok today….:)
Oh – the modern inconveniences…
You keep up or get left behind….
Cute story, Michael. I loved that she used to live in a gingerbread house and now uses a computer. Looks like she’s doing alright in her new business mode. Well done. 🙂 — Suzanne
Thanks so much Suzanne, like all witches their humble fragile beginnings have made way for more permanent dwellings. Have a good day.
