Under a spell

Alongside a river stood a quaint cottage Greenery all around The cottage was dim-lit. The stet-lit night lit the place. The river sparkled under the the star-lit night.      The hares. were scurrying home. An idyllic surrounding.   Hills and vale’s in the background.   One wondered whether it was real for the place looked magical.      Could it be a bubble that would burst and vanish.                           

    I. was under a spell. spell-bound. I couldn’t take my eyes of the. cottage.              I hopped,skipped and jumped lest. I. hurt the hares despite the spell.              I landed. at the foot of the cottage. A gust. of wind. threw open. the. door. I was pushed. inside. as the door slammed.    Came face to face with an old haggard ma.n. with a wand.                       He looked me up and down and grimaced. at me. A. shudder passed through my spine.                        

 Such a nostalgic place. with such a grim faced man. with a crystal ball too.          His look was hypnotic. I was instantly. hypnotized by his gaze. I came under Hos greed was insatiable. spell dancing to his tune He had. an ulterior motive. He would hypnotize people to serve his devious purpose. It was my turn to pander his emotions.            He turned me into a kleptomaniac His greed was insatiable His thrift for riches knew no bounds It forced me into the act of crime         When the spell waned I realized the gravity of the situation         Destiny it was that I escaped by the skin teeth
