Witch

January 29 ,2012

She loved him. But he didn't love her. She was a witch so she stopped his movements. Now he was in his apartment just sitting on the sofa and watching TV, as he was set in a magic spell.    He couldn't move his eyes left or right, so he only watch TV, when nothing appeared on TV during the night.    Every day she came to his apartment and took care of him.  Of course, he didn't move at all and couldn't eat anything. So she only watched him and sometimes swept the dust away from his body.    He didn't have a job and he didn't have a family. He didn't subscribe to any newspapers, so nobody came to his apartment except for her.    One day she came over and took off the magic from his mouth. She asked him, "Do you love me?"  He shouted, "Help! Help!"  So she immediately stopped his mouth movements again.    Some months passed and she took off the spell from his mouth. She asked him again, "Do you love me?" He didn't say anything. She asked him more loudly, "Do you love me?"  This time he said, "If you set the magic free of my head and eyes, I will reply. I don't want to say anything without seeing you."    So she set the magic free from his head and eyes. He moved his head to her and said, "If I will say 'I love you', will you release all the magic from me?"  She said, "Yes, of course."  He said, "But in that case, I might not actually love you."  She said, "I don't care about that because I can stop your movements but I can't read your mind."  So he said, "I love you, then."    She shouted, "Why did you say 'then'!"  And she made him unable to move again and left him.    And he never moved again.   (The End)
