The Gypsy Witch
“BLOOD. BLOOD.....
Would I never escape it? I dreamt one night of a river turning red as ripe pomegranates. The water took on living form and wrapped itself around my neck. I was choking. I was drowning. Coughing, I awoke bending at the waist and trying to catch my breath. My heart pounded as I wiped the sweat from my brow. Although darkness filled this frigid land, I could find no comfort in sleep. The days were dismal and sunless, the nights even worse. Gripped by loneliness, I was haunted... with memories of my childhood. I wished that I had the company of one of the dogs that I had been raised with, but alas I was alone. With Grigori gone the emptiness became unbearable. Finances, at least, were not a problem. He had left me well cared for. Outside my window snow fell over thick coatings of ice. Walking was treacherous. Now I knew why the Gypsies left this place while the summer still prevailed. That winter was the longest I have ever known. When a bright spring sun began to show her face the earth responded in kind.MoreLess
