TABITHA
Flash fiction
Once a year she comes out
in her true form. They said it was a curse placed upon her oh so long ago.
A dark prince who she
turned down to be his love cursed her forever and one day.
When it becomes dark and
the full moon shines bright in the black sky, she comes out.
As black as the night and
full of mischief, she comes out to play. She casts more tricks than any goblin
and fools more for believing in her.
Her bright eyes shine
like jewels and lures you to her with a purr and swish of her long black tail.
If you give her attention
and a treat, she’ll let you go—maybe.
If you hear a laugh after
you’ve left her side, be aware for trouble that night.
Her mischief comes in
many forms, such as a trick of the eye and ghostly images floating behind dark
corners.
If you hear a purr in your
ear, go inside and close the curtains. You might hear a scratching at the
window. Don’t go investigate, no matter what.
If you do, you might be
cursed as long as she is.
Happy Halloween!
