Bewitched!
This week’s Saturday Centus has an autumnal feel to it with a halloween theme. As usual the propmt is in blue & I used another 100 words to finish the piece.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Trick or treat!” they shouted as the door opened. He gave them the sweets that had been put ready.
‘Trick or treat’, he thought to himself. How many times had that been asked that? How many times had he wondered which it was?
They knew when they choose the date to get married that they would get ribbed about it every year. All the gibes about her being a witch casting evil spells.
Yet here they were 67 years on! Who’d have thought it? She certainly could make a room go cold but she was his love, his magic, his lucky charm. Definitely TREAT he thought!
Post Script:- My in-laws will have been married for 67 years on 31st October!!!

Happy Anniversary! That is an amazing accomplishment!
This was such a sweet post…and I could so clearly hear a masculine voice in those thoughts!
Thanks for a great use of the prompt.
Sweet is such an overrated word, but it just fits here. Congratulations to your in-laws. We should all be so blessed.
Thanks……….cj
Nice job! I love that they married on Halloween!
Great story, Julia! I love how you took your inspiration for this story from real life. Very cool!
I honestly don’t think I have ever hard of anyone being married 67 years before. That is just lovely, congratulations to them and love the way you worked a nod of respect towards them into your post:) Jen
very sweet! what a wonderful way to remember, to celebrate…to live.
First of all, congratulations to your in-laws. My late in-laws almost made it to their 68th!

Yes to be married for that long and still thought of as a treat haha .
I’m sure she doesn’t realise it though! Great to see you here!
I liked this romantic take on a Halloween prompt. And what a fun nod to your in-laws!

I haven’t told them in case that cold in the room appaers! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Now this was a nice twist on the prompt! What a cute story, and I love that it’s based on your in-laws. Obviously more treats than tricks, or they wouldn’t have lasted 67 years. I really enjoyed this! Kat
