The Little Witch

Halloween

Friday, October 30, 2009 – 7:57 p.m. – Halloween

Kara sits in the center of five concentric circles made of lit, black candles. Wax collected and hardens along their edges like eerie lava bubbles. She sits in the center of the gold pentagram, in front of her laptop.
"Hi Youtube, it's your favorite witch, Kara!
First of all, I've noticed a barrage of youth groups trolling my channel, and I feel I have to address the situation.
Whatever you're standing for that's fine, but I'm standing up for me and what I know and believe in. I would never intrude on your church's website spewing hateful venom, but I'm not a hateful person like many of you.
Let me edify:
I believe the magic of life is learning it's something that's more than yourself. SO – when you realize this, you realize the importance in leading a fulfilled life – beyond the superficial. In becoming self-actualized as so, you realize that your children are your legacy. Gifting them with all your knowledge and love immortalizes you.
Now I wasn't so lucky – my deadbeat dad never celebrated a birthday or holiday with me. My mom, jumped from man to man and currently holds down a minimum wage job. She also takes some night gigs that she never talks explicitly about.

She never read to me; taught me morals.
So, of course I was worried about damnation when I joined the black arts BUT it's the parent's job for, I mean, at least the first five years, to ensure your child has a secure ride to heaven. But, there's no need for your words begging my baptism, – it's too late for me.

However, you hateful plebeians can live vicariously through my ride to hell.
SO!
Make sure to subscribe!
Now onto our séance.
Normally, you'd need at least two other people to create a circle – BUT that's only necessary if you're a plebeian. If you happen to have Druid or Wiccan blood in you – again, this is a matter of luck, not pedigree – you just need yourself. Tonight I will call upon Abundantia, the goddess of good fortune – because Christmas is quickly around the corner!"

Kara lifts her arms, raises her head, and closes her eyes.

"We call upon thee, Abundantia
Please grant us visit and bequeath us gifts most renowned
Come and communicate"

The leading of the windows begin to rattle. The floor vibrates. A gust of wind sweeps through the room, extinguishing all candlelight. The Youtube screen goes completely black, but the audience can hear a creaking sound, like wood snapping.
A blood-curdling shriek suffuses the mill and suddenly candles relight. In the illumination, Youtube can see that Kara is levitating without her control.
A vortex opens behind her, sucking her in.
"I think our message crossed paths with a demon, guys! I should have practiced a little more before doing this!
Please, start a crowd funding page for me to be rescued from this demon realm.
And make sure to subscribe to my channel and post your comments/questions in the thread below.
Bye, lovers!"
The vortex swallows Kara and quickly collapses.
Kara's laptop remains on, taping the flickering candles.
