Did you like yesterday's story?

shall I give you the answer

or make you wait another day

okay

you win

a drabble

one hundred words

that tells it all.

Black Magic

When I woke, a blue bottle on the nightstand told me the dream was true.

My lover's pillow was cold. What lie would be told today? I hid the bottle in my pocket and went about my day.

He claimed work kept him but vowed his undying love.

His favorite dinner I served with the blue bottle powder liberally spread. Would he now be my beau or a gargoyle of stone?

He ate, and a declaration of love was made.                           Photo by Donovan Reeves on Unsplash

Nothing changed, and I knew I'd won my man.

Then the full moon rose and a gargoyle I owned.

MUAHAHAHAHA!
