Someone the witch hates is sick, very sick.
The kids often wear crumpled and mismatched clothes these days.
The cars are unwashed, and they've always had very clean cars
There's dog poop all over the yard, and theirs used to be picture perfect
Kids' faces are wan, little girl's pigtails are uneven, boy's in trouble at school.
The witch is L.O.V.I.N.G. it, feeding off their sadness and confusion.
When the witch is gone a week or two visiting friends out of town, traveling solo, her household runs very smoothly. Her husband can do it all.
She says she hates to cook so he cooks. She never goes grocery shopping coz it's so hard to tell a rotten tomato from a fresh tomato. She never does laundry as her husband is fastidious about the laundry and he lives to wash and fold. She never vacuums as her gynecologist told her it ruins the womanly parts. She never washes cars as washing cars is a man's job. She never gardens coz he has the only green thumb in the family. And did I mention her boyfriend does the dishes and cuts her grass ...
