This year's three prompt words, which must be included in the story (in one form or another), were wings, spell, and fog.
My writing muse loves this contest! Even if I feel uninspired, my muse visits me and comes up with some fun idea. I love the way this contest unlocks creativity.

An eerie light. A spooky scene.
A lonesome road on Halloween.
A gloomy fog. A rotten log.
A witch flips through a catalog.
The bat upon her shoulder flaps.
Her craggy finger swipes…and taps.
Frog leg, moth wing, eyeball—got it!
Wolfsbane, hemlock, mandrake—bought it!
Heard of retail therapy?
This is ‘retail SCARE-apy’!
Later, as she simmers tea,
here comes her delivery...
seven broomsticks sweep the mess
straight from ‘Sorceress Express’.
In the pot it goes to brew--
ingredients for witchy stew.
Good thing Witchy swapped her cell phone
for the latest “magic spell” phone!
