Trick — A fictional story
Fantasy short story
Calli stepped in front of the door, blocking Jill’s escape. “Where are you going dressed like that?”
“Do you like it?” Jill spun in a circle showing off her ankle-length black dress, flowing dark purple cape, and pointed witches hat.
Callie crossed her arms over her chest “Do you really think you need to be drawing attention to yourself like that?”
“Oh, come on, Callie. It’s Halloween, if we can’t be ourselves on this one day, when can we?” she waved her hand in an attempt to shoo the other witch out of the way. “Move aside.”
Callie sighed and let her hands drop to her side. “You could at least wait until it’s dark outside.”
She pursed her lips together. “Maybe you’re right. It will be way more fun to taunt the kids when they can’t see very well.”
The older witch rolled her eyes. “That’s not what I meant. Why do you always have to be so irresponsible.”
“Why do you have to be a stick in the mud? It’s just one night of fun, what could possibly go wrong?” Jill grabbed her broomstick from its spot by the door. “Please step aside.”
“Fine, but I’m keeping an eye on things from the porch.” She stepped aside and allowed the younger witch to pass.
