Haunt
You decide to be patient and stop thinking absurd things. It's not easy but you manage to wait until she comes back with two cups of tea and deliciously smelling cookies. Oh, that smell has been taunting you for a while now, but you didn't dare to enter the kitchen, you knew that if you get up it would be to leave.
Now the kind smile of the lady makes you feel bad for being so distrustful.
You enjoy the meal, and the begging of the story.
"Yeah, you see, we don't do celebrate the outsiders' myths, but we have our own stories. Nothing to celebrate, tough. For what we know, witches are very evil. They say they live ages, eating the life of children to stay young, forever building their houses bigger and bigger, with strong walls that look like stone, but are actually made of bones. Of course, the stories are exaggerated, and not all witches live that kind of life. Either way... "
The next think you know, is that the old lady is using your bones to repair a wall that is mostly made of real rocks. Your life is already gone and certainly didn't make her any younger.
There is a light calling you somewhere, but you are not going. This monstrous woman ended your life, and you are determined to ruin hers.
She turned you into a ghost? Well, joke's on her, because now she can't see or affect you but you are able to move things around her and spoil her potions. Some day you will find out how to haunt her dreams and thoughts too.
The End.
