The Burning

636183

The townspeople burnt the old witch at the stake.
She went up like a pile of kindling.
They tossed her spellbooks on the flames. Spellbooks are just paper, so they burned quickly.
Then they tossed her broom on the pyre.
Big mistake. Brooms have a hell of a lot of magic in them, so what they did was just like throwing a box of dynamite on a bonfire.
That was the last witch that town burnt. There was nobody left to burn the witches.

  1. That’s it! You’ve solved the energy crisis. Who needs oil when you can burn witches for power? Witch Burning stoves, Witch burning water heaters, witch burning cars. You’ll be the new Ford… or Hitler.
