Anything you crave, a certain curse

[sovay]

Stepping out of the house for a short walk around the neighborhood, I discovered that a friend had sent me a surprise gift in the mail and that between their post office and my doorstep it had been stolen. I received a gutted envelope slit down the side containing brown paper from which the gift had been shaken out. The stiff paper of the accompanying note had wedged hard enough into the envelope that after some stricken searching it was still in there; the handmade buttons and the picture were not. I assume the thief was looking for checks or more conventionally defined valuables, but it seems unspeakably cruel to let the envelope continue on its way and arrive to tell me what kindness I had been robbed of. I still have the note. The kindness itself did travel the distance. But I still want the thief to fall in front of a freight express.

It's times like this that I wish I knew witchcraft, so I could put a hex on that thief. Argh!

My great aunt (who was more of a healer than a witch, but tomato, tomato!) used to say that time is the biggest hex. What goes around comes around, just you wait.
