“The witch gathering” by Pen Walker

Submitted to Contest #65

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...

“The Night of the Witches” by Sk Sk

Submitted to Contest #65

It was a dark and spooky night. The wolves were howling and the fog was rolling in. I had been walking on the moist grass ready to climb over the brick wall. The leaves crunched under my feet as I started climbing. I gazed over the brick wall and gasped when I saw what was there. There were ten eyes staring back at me with the most unusual look. Let me tell you how this all started. It was Halloween night, just like any other year. But this year would be extremely different. My best friend Addilyn and I were going around to houses ...

“Coven v. Coven” by Christopher Cayen-Cyr

Submitted to Contest #65

“Please tell me we’re getting closer. The witching hour is upon us, we shouldn’t waste this precious time wandering aimlessly.” “We’re almost there. Just trust me.” Margareta headed the group of women as they ventured down the thick forested path leading to the clearing in the heart of the woods, lanterns in hands. Branches poked the procession left and right, testing many a practitioner’s patience. The most outspoken amongst the pagans was Isolde, one of their oldest members. Needless to say, she disliked when younger witches tried to t...

“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...

“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...

“The Book of Sacrifice” by Steak AndEggs

Submitted to Contest #65

I woke up with a pounding headache. Shadows danced around my hazy vision. My hands were tied behind my back. I couldn’t focus long enough to do anything about it. I wanted to scream, but my body wouldn’t let me. Two women were having a conversation. Their words began to sound clearer as I came to. “I just don’t understand why we can’t just drain some of his blood and let him go. He won’t remember a thing,” a woman said. &nb...

“Girl’s Night” by Sydthecrybaby .

Submitted to Contest #65

Marge loved Halloween more than anything. Picking cobwebs off of her dusty, black dress she happily chatted on the phone with Terry, who was painting her sickly green nails. “I’m just saying Ter, his pale skin was so beautiful that I could literally see his veins. You can’t convince me otherwise.” “Dude, I’m telling you. Not every boy with pale skin is a vampire, i’m sorry.” Terry replied with a deep sigh. Her phone was laying next to the coffin-black nail polish she use...

“Tolls and Rewards” by Guilherme Caxico

Submitted to Contest #65

The factory's siren echoed through the streets of Mckenziewood like a sweet warning. The glass confectioners were finally being set free of their stressful duties and could come back home to their wives, husbands, and kids with enough time to spend some of the festivities. Halloween night has always been an important event for the city, even after the tragedies that always happen around that part of the year. Many were the officers and digital influencers that tried to stop the celebrations, but nothing really worked. The To-Die-Town, as the...

“A Witchy Vision for the Future” by Sapna Reinant

Submitted to Contest #65

Maya could feel the village calling out to her even now. Her daughter had come home a week ago to shoulder the responsibility of her father’s last rites. Poonam had wanted to take her parents with her to London when she first got the job, but they had refused. Her father had said something about wanting to die in the village he had been born in, but Maya knew that he was looking out for her. He knew that Maya’s magic was rooted in the village. Moving away would mean a weakening of her abilities, and she wasn’t ready to give that u...

“A Not-so Horror Story” by Eshita Meduri

Submitted to Contest #65

Angry spirits. Angry Halloween spirits. Those were the last few things I could see before losing my sight completely. Whispers from the beyond clouded the rest of my senses. I wanted to help my family. But, I couldn’t do a thing. Stupid muscles won’t work when I want them to. Ugh. After what seemed like ages, we were awoken from our trance. The cauldron of protection was lying upside down on the ground. The bonfire was no longer in existence. And all my fellow witches and wizards were lying unconscious. Except for Ms. Warren. I turned to ...

“The Monsters Reign” by Mahrosh A

Submitted to Contest #65

“Everyone here?” asked a pretty woman with long red hair and perfect straight teeth with piercing red eyes. “I don’t want to be missing anyone.” “Everyone's here Cassandra high witch, just like you said.” piped up a rather skinny looking woman with greenish skin, webs in her hair, and yellow uneven teeth. “Perfect.” smiled Cassandra. “I was beginning to think everyone was too scared to come since it is Halloween.” She glanced up at the sky. The moon was shaped like a round ball giving off a yellowish color. “It’s time.” She said as a gro...

“Implosion” by Sally Lang

Submitted to Contest #65

The night was pure black save for the thin waxing moon offering a hint of light along the path. Snapping twigs and crunching leaves broke the painful silence as Ezra made her way forward through the maze of thick tree trunks. She paused and looked around. ‘Where was I going?’ Scoffing the question away, she continued. A chilly breeze blew across her face and seemed to run the length of her spine. She gathered her cloak closer, feeling the thick fur wrap snuggly around her neck. ‘Where am I?’ A common question of late; her mind kept forgetti...
