My stories for you to sample..

Once upon a time there lived a witch in a village.  She was not one of those typical stereotype ones you read about in the media.  First of all she had a beautiful name Emily.  she loved the village she lived in and if you asked the children of the village they would say she made the best cookies and no they were not the bad kind of cookies that turned you into a frog or snail.  She didn’t even get mad when children would kick balls into her yard.  Well the village was prosperous in no small part because of Emily.  The village did not know that she was a witch but they all loved her.  

This all changed one when a traveling salesman entered the village to sell tupperware or some kind of self locking fresh keeping container.   This salesman, unknown to everyone, had lost his family in a witch incident which involved turning his family into a giant stone which he carried around in a cart.  This is why he became a traveling salesman because of all the extra room in his cart.  He also had a secret hope he would find somebody to turn them back into his family.  He would cry in secret every night and vow violent vengeance on all witches.  This is where the trouble started because of his belief that all witches were evil.  

In the salesman position was a so-called witch stone which would light up in the presents of a witch.  It had lit up many times but he never found a witch because it was not directional.  This however became a problem on market day for Emily who was baking cookies to sell to make some extra money for a new mirror.  She was waiting for the last batch of cookies to finish cooking when the traveling salesman headed over to the village market to sell some tupperware.  The witch stone lit up and he went around to look for the witch and the only person he could see was Emily.  He looked all around and only found her but she did not look like any witch he had ever seen or researched.  

He thought this was his moment he had thought about for entire life since that moment he lost his family and they were turned into a rock.  He grabbed her and dragged her to the market.  He called her out as a witch and demanded they burn her.  The crowd thought he was crazy.  They all loved her, well at least her cookies.  The deputy grabbed the salesman and let Emily go.  He said that he had proof and took out his witch stone and it lit up.  The crowd was not impressed with this because witch stones are not directional as everyone learns in school.  He said he could prove it.  If everyone went away a hundred feet.  The Deputy said that was enough from the salesman.  He said he would leave town right away if they would just do that.  The crowd agreed out of contempt because they all knew Emily was not a witch.  Emily spoke and said she had something  to say.  

The crowd listened intently and Emily said “I am witch but i am no harm to you.” The crowd looked shocked as it went silent for a whole minute.  The salesman said to burn her and said a witch had turned his family into a stone.  The crowd prepared a burning pit for emily.  Emily was scared like never before in her life.  

She had one last hope because she would be able to speak to the crowd before they put her in the pit to burn. She said she wanted to address the crowd to the deputy.  He hushed the crowd and she started. You have known me a long time and nothing bad has happened to this village all the years i have lived here.  I have protected you with my special powers.  I have even given you delicious cookies that are the best in the world.  The village crowd was not sure. when the salesman spoke again his family turned to stone and how he cried every night for his family and how the evil witch had turned them into stone.  Emily spoke up and said she had nothing do with that but she would do what she could to change them back.  Emily knew this was a risk because not all spells could be reversed.  She had to try though for a chance at least.  

They took her to carvan where the rock was and said to turn them back to life.  She said she needed her kitchen so she examined the rock.  She went to her kitchen for that is where real magic happens.  She looked around for all the ingredients that she would need to remedy the spell.  Emily worked for hours. It felt liked and came up with a green slime looking thing.  She said she was done.  They took her to the rock.  

Her hands shook as she pronounced the magic words and something happened but not what she expected.  A magic fairly popped out of thin air.  It was a magic fairy that had caused the village to be founded or that was how the legend went.  Some explorers had seen some glowing light and followed it to the clearing that became the village.  The magic fairy said “I created the village to be a home to peace and love.  You have broken that today.  Emily it is very important to keep this village safe. “

 She turned to the salesman and said “what happened to you is sad but is not Emily’s fault.  You are meant to find a home here and bring even more prosperity to this village.”

“Look at yourselves and see what you have become!” The magic fairy exclaimed and the village felt ashamed.  They begged forgiveness from the magic fairy who said she would consider it if they could heal the hurt of the salesman and make him feel love again.  The crowd said turn the stone back into his family.  The fairy said she could not do that because the spell was very powerful and evil.  They  would need a lot of witches to reverse it.     

They asked forgiveness from Emily and she said she would try to but she was more concerned on how to heal the salesman heart because you do not want a magic fairy mad at your town.  Emily said she would forgive the salesman.  The village healed their emotional wounds a little everyday.  In fact time changes a lot.

Some time passed and the salesman lived in town and something funny happened.  Emily and the salesman fell in love with Emily and Emily fell in love with him.  In fact they made cookies together and put them in his self sealing containers and exported them around the world because they would stay fresh in them.  The village became the most successful snack company in the world and everybody prospered because they looked past their hate and anger.  This made the magic fairy smile.    the end……………………………………..
