The Witches Field


The Witch Farms spooktacular harvest of pumpkins was a once in a blue moon event and was open to the public and Mitch dreamed of the most incredible pumpkin he could find, to celebrate Halloween this year.

The legend was, this harvest belonged to a generous witch who shared her seeds in the springtime.

If someone else toiled in it, the crops would die and she would send beetles to plague them.

..... who wants my pumpkin pretties? It was not your normal , edible pumpkin he was after anyway, *gulp* he just wanted to decorate his house to scare the little goblins and ghouls with.
The End

This is linked to Saturday Centus- a 100-word writing meme based on a prompt, this week's prompt was the field of pumpkins pictured here.




BIG IMPORTANT UPDATE- ) since I have nowhere better to unload this parable from the messages of TLIG

 “There once was a sower who prepared an enormous field; he chose the finest grain to sow and produce the best wheat! now, when the harvest was ready to be reaped, and what a rich harvest it was, his enemy sent out a bunch of crows to fly over his field; this field, toiled and prepared with so much love and sacrifice, a ready and rich harvest, able to feed the entire country, leaving no one hungry; but, these crows which were sent by his enemy, started to pick up here and there from the harvest, devouring and ravaging as much as possible; if it was not for the sower seeing all this and sending out his servants to chase away those crows they would have devastated the entire harvest;”

Jesus Explains it: the sower is I, the Lord, the harvest is My Word, (The Holy Bible) the enemy is Satan; the crows are those souls influenced by Satan, through many years, now and again to eat up the important elements from My Words; but, I, Jesus Christ, the Lord, will manifest Myself time and again to bring back to you those missing elements; I will embellish and repair My Church;

  4. Oh Jackie,
    This is such a nice Halloween story. I agree with Jeff about the beetle curse.
    Why do some gardeners succeed better with their plants that others? Is it just the right balance of light, water, the right temperature and soil conditions? Or is their a pumpkin witch who controls your pumpkin patch?
    Well done.
    Best wishes,

  17. I love the idea of a good witch, though, in general, witches give me the creeps. This story is well written and just the ticket for this prompt.

    Thanks..........cj

  19. Jackie, you surprise me this week!

    This was such a different use of the prompt and I was enchanted with the whole 'beetle curse' visual.

    I really, really liked what you did here.

    Was this a quick inspiration or did it take a little bit to flow? It seemed like it might have just poured out in a complete little perfect gem of a story.

    Thank you for linking.
