Beware the Witches' Spell

“Hey, look there Jim, the young girl said look at that rusty gate ahead? Do you think we should go through? I am game if you will too. We’ll have to clear these sticks away and find the latch, what’s that you say? you don’t think we should touch the gate what lies beyond might not be great. Oh, come on Jim, don’t be a wuss all it needs is one big push, then once we’re through we’ll walk the road it’s just your mind in overload.” And as they heaved the gate it fell releasing then the witches' spell, a spell held bound until the day this gate was opened by its prey. But these two children did not see what dangers lurked when innocently without a care stepped through the gate and with this action sealed their fate. At first, they heard a rumbling sound and swirling winds whipped all around, they both were lifted up so high and drawn so quickly through the sky. And with a thud they were set down inside a castle dark and brown. both trembling, cold, and full of fear “Just what had happened now we’re here?” A voice they heard; a cackle low the witch appeared to let them know, they’d live with her forever more no going back to life before. “Your days will now be one of toil you’ll cook and scrub, the cauldron boil, Oh, how I’ve waited for this day for foolish kids to come my way.” The girl said “Jim, I should have heard the warning in you spoken word, don’t touch that gate just let it be I wish I’d listened to your plea.” A tear rolled down her cheek, then fell upon the witch and broke her spell, for witches cannot deal with tears if splashed with one their spell it clears. And with a whoosh away they went back to the place were quickly sent, behind that gate and set on ground they both stood up and looked around. “Where have we been? I can’t recall but know that gate must never fall, so quickly we must run away I’ll not go through it, on this day.” So, if you see a gate ahead be careful now when through it tread, take care with life and gates you fell don’t end up in the witches' spell.
