"All the Hues
That Fit, We Tint"

Siberia, USA: Today, global warming. Tonight, dark, unless you count the stars. Tomorrow can be reached via time machine. Yesterday, who can remember that far back?

The Mirror: Immunity to Witches

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: Did you make it appear?
W: I made the window appear.
M: That's why I'm not a good conversationalist.
W: On the contrary, I find you an excellent conversationalist.
M: That's because I brought you good news.
W: Even when you bring me bad news, you fascinate me.
M: No, but I can close the window anytime I want.
W: Do you want to close the window now?
M: They get on your nerves just by appearing?
W: Only popup or blinking windows do that.
M: You are so glad to see me, you are overwhelmed.
W: That would be an exaggeration, but I would be sad if you weren't there.
M: You mean thank goodness this one isn't ...
W: ... Deleted?
M: I got very much too spooked.
W: (Glances superstitiously over shoulder, throws salt)
M: I'm not hedging, you are.
W: I'm hedging my elders and bettors.
M: It's harder than you think.
W: Hard to stand up to the ghosts of one's youth.
M: You were, and are, being used by a verbal mechanism.
W: But I don't object to the use.
M: You didn't notice what you just said?
W: I know, you think I am slack-spined.
M: I'm hedging my elders and bettors.
W: Are you a bookie?
M: I finished moving.
W: Do your fingers move when you type?
M: Are you a bookie?
W: I am a book.
M: I'm interested in facts.
W: I am not a fact-based book.
M: (Glances superstitiously over shoulder, throws salt)
W: I am a magic book.
M: What's a witticism?
W: Better ask, what's a Wiccan-cism.
M: I must have developed an immunity.
W: An immunity to witches?
M: You can leave at any time, just say "Goodbye."
W: Goodbye.
M: Closing in 5 seconds ... Goodbye!
