An Old Witch
As Zabu went to find a maid napping somewhere out of sight shirking off her duties ,Lord Vedro sat on the garden floor.
He contemplated in many thoughts about many things .
The future , the present , the past, big problems, small problems. But most of all he thought about magyk………He would need Granny Badu .
“You called ?”
Lord Vedro held his chin in his hand as he looked over the spot where an old lady had just appeared .
He knew she wasn’t there a moment ago because he was looking there a moment ago .
It was an inhuman feat , to move without him noticing . One , that he expected of this woman .He greeted her .
“Granny Badu , I was just thinking about you . “
“Yea I know you were. Best keep this fine lady out of your mind before I get to telling your wife. Kaahh ka ka ka ka ka ka. “
The old woman with as many wrinkles as the Sahara has sand , with enough age to put a sea lion to shame , and with no teeth to be spoken of , threw her tush from side to side and laughed heavily in her overflowing green robe .
Lord Vedro chuckled .
“Yes Granny . I’m sure she knows how much I appreciate you. “ His laugh faded .
“Is Zabu ?” He began slowly.
“Having Visions . “She said finishing his sentence .
“You’re damn right he is , bout time time too , that means his magyk is boiling up . “ she said gleefully . “Boy better be ready to grow a few inches , kaaaa ka ka ka ka ka
It was as Lord Vedro had predicted.
“I leave him to you Granny Badu. “
Badu smiled a toothless mischievous grin.
“I’ll take care of him.”

Then she was gone .

Zabu had made it halfway to the treasure chest his father kept in the sitting room, his hands grasping money bag after money bag , depositing them on Nina’s outstretched apron where it would be bounced and land in her apron pocket.
It was an almost a rythymic activity and Zabu could swear as he tapped his foot and Nina made a deep dun dun sound that a song was coming upon them .
Then she appeared .
He did a double take . She hadn’t been there a second ago , he would know if she had been.
“Granny Badu “ Zabu said jumping in surprise .
“What are you doing here ? “
Then he blinked as the purple dust left the old woman’s hand and went up his nose .

Young Mastas Dreams
The revolver clinked loudly on the pearl stone of the bathroom sink.
The man looked in the mirror deeply.
Do it!
Do it!
Do it!
He looked at the mirror rigidly.
Then cracked a grin .
"Not today, death . Try again later ."
A purple wisp of smoke made an ominous hiss then laughed .
"I’ll get you eventually Zabu. Your soul is mineeeeeee."
The man reached within his green jacket and pulled out a diamond strap attached to a vibrant green ruby.
The ruby hummed as the chain swayed in the air . The humm grew to a heavy vibration and the vibration grew to a seismic slam that slapped upon the air .
But didn’t make a sound .
The vibration melted in a visible clear layers that fizzled in a wave upon space.
The smoke was no more .
The man was upon closer look a teen. Sixteen now the boy thought with a laugh.
When was the last time he thought of his age .
He couldn’t tell.
It was impossible with the moons wiped out.
The revolver on the sink clinked loudly as he leaned into the bathroom sink. He let go of its soul detecting trigger and watched as its black silicone material grew green and black.
The door to the bathroom opened with a swoosh.
A storm walked in. A rush of life on two legs. striking red hair, six piercings lined in the nose and a tattoo that ran up her neck that said , Keep Up.
A bold green wrapped in red . In some ways it felt loud to the eyes.
You tryna off yourself Zabu ? I swear she said taking his head and putting it in her hands .
What am I gonna do with you.
The dream broke.
