It’s

her famous Halloween punch, and dancing to the Monster
Mash,
and opts for a spookier night. She will be holding a séance with the
help of her friends and her new Ouija board. Little does she know

twenty-seven years ago is lifted tonight, and her true powers are
finally presented to her.

Excerpts
Leaning
back in her chair, she places the board down in front of her and
contemplates why anyone would invent such a strange-looking thing.
Nancy isn’t new to all of this supernatural, sorcery stuff. She
practiced white witchcraft. Her grandmother had gotten her into it
when she was younger. The only childhood memories that Nancy ever
recalled were the ones where she and her grandmother would wander
through the herb garden picking specific herbs for certain cures and
potions. None of them ever worked to Nancy’s knowledge, but still,
she loved to think she was carrying on her grandmother’s ways.
Witches and their history intrigued Nancy, but never had she
considered the Ouija board. Having heard so many creepy stories about
it actually working, and summoning spirits, Nancy stayed well clear
of it. That was, until she could no longer resist the possibility of
magic or some sort of mystical power being real. The practice of
white magic had never resulted into anything more than
beautifully-smelling concoctions, and enhanced flavoursome food and
drink.
Nancy
reaches into the box and pulls out the instructions. In the booklet,
she’s introduced to the board, its uses and origins, and the fact
that it isn’t a tool of the Devil. It’s ‘a
device used by the ancient Chinese for talking with the dead.’
She
smiles. Her grandmother had always told her that witches were
perceived to be the Devil’s wenches. That’s why people hated them
so much. She’d also told her that not all witches were evil, nor
did they work for the Devil. They were women with powers, and men
hated it, so they were associated with the Devil’s name in hope
that civilisation would be fearful of them.
Suddenly
saddened at the thought of her dear grandmother no longer being here,
Nancy moves onto the next paragraph. It tells her that the more
people - or ‘energy’- she has for the Ouija, the better. This is
good; she’s invited three of her closest friends over, two of whom
are bringing their other halves, so they should have enough wattage.
She would have invited more but her dining table only seats six.
Having deckchairs scattered about the place would have just killed
the mood she was trying to create.
She
skims through the rest of the passage until her eyes halt and
backtrack to something rather alarming.
‘Never
use the Ouija board in your home.’
Slightly
unnerved, an invasion of goosebumps tickle her skin, resulting in a
shiver. Her mind starts to wander. What
if this does work? What if I call a spirit here and don’t know how
to send it back?
She shakes her reservations away along with the gooseflesh, and
places the booklet face down on the table before heading faster than
usual to the kitchen for a glass of wine. It was too late to be
concerned about the warning. Her guests would be here soon, and she’d
promised them all a spooky night.
