“The Black Hat Society” by Brea McCoy

Submitted to Contest #65

Hagatha rapped a wooden ladle against the frothing cauldron on the table in front of her. The sound swallowed the little basement of St. Prunella's Basilica, like the knell of an iron funeral bell. The brims of half a dozen black hats lifted in response. "I call this monthly meeting of the Black Hat society to order. All rise for the pledge." Chairs screeched on the polished wooden floor as the witches rose and joined their hands in a circle. Their voices rang out in a discombobulation of notes and tunes, but each witch brought her all t...

“A coven of a time” by Julie Adamson

Submitted to Contest #65

Reluctantly I jumped in my friend Abby's car. I wanted to go, however I was unsure what would greet me. Abby had told me it was nothing like the movies, there would be no blood sacrifice, dancing naked under the full moon and brewing potions from a steamy hot cauldron. I knew this I was a solitaire witch and had been for ten years. What concerned me, was an old friend told me when he joined a coven it was all about having orgies under the night sky. We arrived at the high priestess’s house. It was a norm...

“Tomato, Basil, and What?” by Grace Lynn

Submitted to Contest #65

Hazelle was at the small town’s farmers market, picking the perfect produce for the beautiful tomato and basil soup she was preparing for supper the next night. She checked her basket, making sure she had everything that she would need. Basil, thyme, tomatoes, yellow onion-she had every ingredient that she would require to make her soup just right. Striding out of the square, she approached her favorite local coffee shop, The Brew. Several people were occupying the small tables, but fortunately there was no line at the counter. Hazelle stopp...

“Arenea” by Paige Winters

Submitted to Contest #65

I stare up at the starlit sky, watching the full moon disappear behind a bank of clouds and drift out again. The stars are bright tonight. I sit on a chair by my windowsill, Starfire curled up in my lap like when she was a little kitten. The black cat purrs, rubbing her head against my hand as her tail wraps around my arm. “It’s a perfect night, Starfire,” I whisper. Against my will, a grin breaks free and a giddy laugh escapes me. I clutch her to my chest. She yelps and wriggles out of my arms, falling to the floor. She meows. “Right...

“Annual Witch's Ball” by Debbie Ealer

Submitted to Contest #65

Every year the Southern Belle Witch Society meets at their magical hide away cottage in the woods. It only appears for those who are magical. The hide away is so isolated that the witches can only reach it by flying on their brooms and landing in the distant wooded area. Set back deep in the dark forest and tangled woods they gather each year to celebrate the witch’s ball. This year it is not just another ball, this year it is a special ball. It is their 1000th ball. It will be filled with extra magic this year as it fell on Halloween night....

“Halloween” by Esteban Fernandes

Halloween and the Coven was ready to conjure their dark arts. The thirteen had been texting back and forth all month long among themselves. All of them had reached the required age to perform this event. Groups of three were assigned out of twelve, the high priestess was the coordinator to lead the final outcome. The gothic mansion was at the end of an baseline road. It had been built in the later 1500’s by a courtesan of the Spanish court, Oscuro Torre. The Torre’s maintained a stark presence in the house for all their years till the disapp...

Silva raced through the town, as fast as she could without revealing she was faster than the average human. The reason for this was, of course, that she wasn't human. Silva, and her friends Raven and Coral, were witches. Silva was an animal witch. She could control animals, as well as speak their languages and turn into them. Raven was a mind witch. she could read, control and link minds. She could also move objects with her mind if she tried hard enough. And Coral... well even the high council didn't know what to do with Coral. She cal...

“Ellie's Turbulent Love” by Christine Goucher

Submitted to Contest #65

The wind was howling. The hail was screaming. The gloom was mounting. The darkness of this present world was starting to consume her. Burying her alive, Killing her inside, Suffocating her from the inside out. The hope that once resided from within her was slowly over time being destroyed. Twisting and Turning. Her insides burning. Her flesh decaying. There was no use in praying. Pariah Moths feasting on the chaos in her mind. Anguish, Agony and Anxiety contaminating all around her. Political vampires sucking her dry to the b...

“The Curse of Achlys ” by Briana Brijmohan

Submitted to Contest #65

The night was dark and cold, the silver moon glowing brightly in the vast sky, surrounded by golden twinkling stars. Laughter and screams rang out through the air as trick-or-treaters ran about in glee, with their Halloween bags filled with candy. I stood on my undecorated porch, watching as everyone had fun, enjoying the night of terrors. I smirked. If only they knew what real terrors were about to come. I looked up at the sky, relishing in the feel of my magic swirling inside my blood, getting stronger as the night wore on. Just one more...

I quickly put on my witch outfit. I’m so excited!! This is my first Halloween as a trained witch!! My mom thinks that the costume is just that, a costume. Little does she know I’ve been practicing witchcraft. Tonight is a key moment in becoming a witch. The Halloween ritual where I get my spell book. “Mom! Hey mom, I’m ready!” I run out into the kitchen but mom isn’t there. “Mom?” I run into the living room and see mom lying down on the couch. “Mom, are you ok?” I ask and run up to her. “Sorry, I’m just feeling a little sic...

“The Coven of the Sacred Heart's Final Rite” by Ruth Cumiskey

Submitted to Contest #65

"Double, double, toil and trouble..." Agatha rubbed her hands together and cackled, loud enough to send the birds squawking from a nearby oak tree. "Could you be any more on the nose?" Jen rolled her eyes. Women like this perpetuated the myth of witchcraft as a group of warty-nosed hags dancing around cauldrons putting curses on people. It was bad enough that she was called Agatha: was she trying to be a cliché? Agatha pouted and perched atop a nearby gravestone, as if keeping herself upright was simply too much effort. “Get up!” Jen his...

“Spooky Well-wishes ” by Hanna Moore

Submitted to Contest #65

Hannah Moore The door squeaks open as the final accomplice arrives before we set our sights on the aging cemetery. Two of us nod, I stand straight, and swallow my pride. "Avegail, how lovely it is that you could join us tonight." I stammer. "Gertrude, we do this every year, you don't have to address me like that." Avegail calmly replies. I shake my head, thoughts racing and bouncing around within the confines of my skull. Satchels are stuffed with books, wires covered with herbs are removed from the walls. Silently, we glide towards the c...

“Hallowe'en Celebration” by Bettina Karpathian

Submitted to Contest #65

Malinda took a deep breath as she surveyed the scene. It was the first time she’d been elected to organize the annual Hallowe’en witches’ convention, the one time of year when witches can meet, living and dead, across time and distance. She took the responsibility extremely seriously. She’d found the perfect location, a ruined, desolate and remote mansion. It was situated high on a bleak hillside, making it easy to spot from the air. Perfect for landing a broomstick. The weather was ideal, frosty and clear except for t...
