Words Count With Mama Zen

House of Voodoo.  I'll just wait outside.

Greetings, Toads!

Would you guys mind giving me a hand?  I just got back from picking up a few things at the store . . . you know, the usual: coffee beans, slippery elm . . . parchment paper, black candles . . . oh, no!  I forgot to get a red ink pen!  

Today, my friends, we gonna work some voodoo.  Just take some everyday ingredients, a bit of the fantastical, stir it with your words, and create a spell all your own.  It's your magic; work it any way you want it . . . as long as you work it in 73 words or less.

Now, can someone loan me a red pen?

73 words?! I thought it said 730. Damn, there goes the whole sequence about the cult of the Magic 8 Ball.

Definitely a subject after my own heart, MZ. Will see if I can find that half-melted doll around here somewhere...

Oops. Linked twice. Can't seem to remove either. Sorry.

Will be back to read the others. Just finished reading Neil Gaimon's new book and it was the perfect inspiration!

I fear

Thanks for playing, guys! I had a bunch of unexpected (unwanted) errands dumped on me today, but I'll be around later tonight.
