79 Word Challenge Written in Response to Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt – FAMILIAR

My lovely new neighbor invited me into her home, so I took a small house-warming gift over. I was amazed at how well put together her home was already. I remarked on this fact and her smile of gratitude warmed my chilled heart.

“I can not claim all of the credit as my Familiar helped me greatly,” she’d replied.

I opened my palm to give her the little black cat statue I had purchased on a whim.

    What a charming story, if only all neighbours enjoyed such a relationship.

      Definitely and thank you. I did have a true practitioner of the White Arts of Witchcraft as a neighbor once, and she was truly lovely. 😊
