Again, thanks!
I haven't done much with it yet, but it will be next in line for me to work with...

I sketched out this story one night when I was contemplating a lot of things that had been annoying me- jet skis, people doing rebel yells in the woods, chavs at the beach, fluffbunny "spiritual" girls with the bunnies and unicorns, and so on. I had been in a New Age shop and chatted with the woman behind the counter regarding the crystals and stuff she sold (which was the inspiration for the scene toward the end) and joked about finding the crystals that cause baldness, impotence and flatulence to balance out the ones she sold, and she got highly offended. I realized in that moment that she had no concept of balance, that for every bit of good there has to be an equal bit of bad. And that started me on a rant, which resulted in me writing this.

Grizelda is basically me in a female form. (I don't recall where I got the name from- very likely that Monkees song, actually.) I thought, "What if I were an actual witch and went into this fluffbunny store? How would I react to these poseurs?" And then I ran with it. I contemplated how much fun it would be to right the wrongs of the world with subtle little things like infesting chavs with bugs or bringing wildlife into an area where someone who would appreciate it was sitting.

I think I might take it and run further with it...
