I slipped into the rippling mirage and found the path disappeared into the depths of the woods. The bushes brushed against my legs and arms, and caught on my clothes. I pushed and pulled my way along the trail, and eighty feet into the woods the path turned a corner. The trees parted to reveal a small clearing. In the center of the clearing sat a hut made of uneven plank boards hammered to the old frame with rusted nails. The windows were small bathroom windows that were clouded to obscure the interior. A cinder block was the step, and I stepped onto it and stood before the door. A Marley knocker stood at face-level, and I gave it a good knock.

I heard a shuffling noise on the other side of the door, and the entrance opened an inch. A large, blood-shot eye stared back at me. “Whadda ya want?” an old man’s voice growled.

“Um, I’m looking for-um, for someone who can help me.” I still didn’t have the old coot’s name. “Madam Curie said someone would be here who could help me out of a curse,” I replied.

The eye narrowed. “Did she put it on you?”

“No, an incubus did. He’s trying to turn me into a succubus,” I told him.

The door flung open and revealed a man of about seventy. His skeletal frame was covered in a cow hide with a sheep skin tossed over his bony shoulders. He had a few scraggly gray hairs on his head and a smell on his person that could have stunned a skunk. The inside of the hut was of the same four-star quality, complete with a bearskin rug on the floor in front of the rock chimney place. A three-legged table sat near a counter with a large, rusted sink. To the right was a cot covered in skins and dirty clothes. A shelf of small, fur-covered dolls was attached to the wall high above the bed.

The man stepped closer to me and I noticed his bright eyes were eager and his mouth was slightly agape. Those bright brown eyes scrutinized me with a wild, eager look. “A succubus? You’re not pulling this old man’s leg, are you?”

I took a step back and shook my head. “No, why?”

He gave a wild cackle and dove at me with his bony fingers wiggling like worms. I yelped and jumped to one side. He missed me by a mile and fell head-first into the snow. The man groaned and lifted his head. He had a goofy smile on his face and his head swayed from side to side.

“Did I get her?” he slurred.

I folded my arms and glared at him. “No, you didn’t, and you’re not going to. I’m having enough trouble with the incubus. I don’t need a dirty old man chasing me.”

“Especially a witch doctor,” a voice spoke up. I looked to the path and saw Mo emerge from the brush. He sauntered over to us and rubbed himself against my legs.

“He’s a witch doctor?” I asked the feline.
