heh. I love an unorthodox character with mysterious power over other people, especially when it is just being them. :)

I am intrigued! Nice little by play between mates, and I want to know more about this old woman…is she a witch for real?

A few niggles: You switch names halfway through, Matthew talks to a Joe and a Sam. I also feel the first paragraph doesn’t flow with the rest, which is just conversation. It’s not even needed really, what does it add?

Oh wow how did I not even notice that I switched names? That’s… even more scatterbrained than usual, for me. ^{Editing now}

Well written! Is it bad if my favorite part is the title?

Haha, no I don’t think so, boxofun :P afterall, it is a pretty witty title ;)

I would say that in actual conversation, people rarely reiterate that something isn’t real (say, dragons, unicorns or witches). If someone told me unicorns aren’t real, straight-faced, I’d wonder if I actually Looked like an idiot.
Know what I mean, jellybean?
Otherwise, love it all
