EXCERPT
UNDYING WITCH
A Dysfunctional Family of Witches
Prequel
By B. Austin
Ninety-eight-year-old Dima clutched the rock, spinning like a young woman. She would die remembering herself dancing in St. Petersburg Square.
She closed her eyes, clenching the volcanic rock, feeling the stone shudder beneath her touch.
She saw herself once more, with lush hair brushing her ankles. On a warm day, she would dance naked in the allies, her hair covering her breasts like Lady Godiva. She would twirl, slapping the men’s faces with her golden locks and driving them wild. “Those were the good days.”
Dima would die singing. She sang out loud the song Those Were the Days composed by Boris Fomin. The song was about remembered youth and romantic ideals.
She was getting dizzy and feared falling. She did not want to die in pain with broken bones.
Dima stopped spinning. What the…? How could this…be?
Are these my hands, smooth and young with no wrinkles?
Her legs were smooth, shapely, and tall.
Her back was straight and her breasts…ooh-la-la, could she attract the men with these twin firm beauties!
There was no sagging under her arms.
She shoved her hands under her buttocks and squeezed. Her Butt was hard as a rock.
She patted a hand under her chin which was no longer almost touching her chest but was firm.
Dima ran out of the House of the Tragic Poet with the volcanic rock, no make that shape-shifting rock, clutched in her hand. The ruins were especially eerie because the site closed at five o-clock. All the tourists were gone.
