A Risk You Must Take
Nothing seems to help. I am considering returning home. At least then Daddy won’t have to worry about me besmirching the family name any Continue reading

The Infestation
Well, this is embarrassing. Teddy and I went to the Cinema… You know, the one run by the fair folk. We watched a peculiar German film about a woman running a lot. When we came back, I opened the case on my bed and heard a giggling sound. I didn’t see anything much more than… Continue reading

Letters from Hatty
You do realise there is more to this job offer than meets the eye? Even if I felt enthusiastic about the prospect of being a privileged teenager’s menial aide, it’s obvious that the real motivation behind Framley-Waters’ generous pay package is finding someone to spy on his daughter while she’s away from home.

My friend and fellow teenage witch Olive Framley has been a bit distant lately. We don’t always spend time together, but sometimes it feels important to me, at least, to make sure we’ve had the chance to speak and talk about magic things.

Friends, Ice cream and Monsters
I wasn’t prepared for how strange it would be to go back home, after three months of living apart, as a proper witch! Mum and Dad seemed so pleased to have me back… At first.

No one batted an eye, not even when she dropped a couple of coins and then stretched her fingers out to twice their length to grab them… Continue reading

The Truth Shall Set You Free
I was in two minds about doing any more fortune telling sessions at Coastal Coffee – then I went today and that just about made up my mind. I still had a few customers, but there were also a lot of distractions. One of the women who I used to do readings for, who apparently… Continue reading

Looking for Direction
I couldn’t sleep that night and I went down to watch the television in the communal room, since no one else was there. There was an interview with a witch who worked in the city, talking about how she’d had to work more and more after local factories closed and she was beginning to lose… Continue reading

Encounter by the Full Moon
I feel you could have warned me how lonely it is to be a witch, especially in my first year! Even Firenze doesn’t always care for my company – a poor trait in a pet or a familiar! Last night I couldn’t sleep and I got up and wandered about. Firenze stirred for a moment,… Continue reading
