Friday Fictioneers: Winter Rose Tea
Winter Rose Tea: A Short Story for Rochelle Wisoff-Fields' Friday Fictioneers
Photo by Dale Rogerson
The witch
was surprised the rosebush had lasted so long; that was the first time she had
tried a plant spell. Spring was almost at the door, the snow was melting, and
still, the roses kept their vibrant orange colour. They had lasted the whole
winter season, ready to be picked for her final project. In case you were
unaware, witches are usually great at brewing tea. This particular one was eager
to create her own winter rose tea for her potions class, which she was
currently failing. She was not going to be pleased by the petal-eating aphids’
visit.
Excellent. 👏✨
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteNow she's got to learn a spell against aphids!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she'll figure it out in time for the next winter 😉

ReplyDeleteMy story!
Maybe so!
DeleteWelcome to Friday Fictioneers! This was a fun take.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dale. And thank you for the beautiful photo!
DeleteMaybe she can come up with a potion to get rid of the aphids and receive some extra credit. Very creative take on the prompt!
