The Life of a Witch with Anxiety
She wakes up in this day and age pondering if something unexpected has occurred while she lays in her bed resting. She thinks of the worst things imaginable. It might not affect her at all, but the idea of it happening to herself raises concerns that someone that is calm and lightheaded would not worry about it. Unfortunately, she is anxious about how the day would play out and if something that occurs today would increase the chances of an unfortunate event later on in her short life.
This is the story of Lisbeth Rose a thirty something year old young woman that has one of the most pessimistic minds in the world. Such a mind that puts her body into anxiety overload that she wakes up every day as if she had run miles and miles through explosions and dead bodies. Her will power is quite strong, strong enough to survive another day, but in a world where herself or somebody that she loves might leave this planet one of these days that will power depletes gradually as the days go on.
We begin this story with Lisbeth sleeping on the couch in her mother's home, snoring loudly that the owls outside her window fly off startled. Lisbeth's sister Marycate walks into the living room through the main entrance of the house, tip toeing so as to not wake Lisbeth up while trying to sneak a rather large bearded man into her bedroom upstairs.
"Come on, walk quietly up the stairs" instructed Marycate. As the man started taking a few steps up the stairs a cracking sound was created. The sound was the result of the old rotting stairs. Lisbeth jump from the couch startled from the noise and gasped. Lisbeth looked towards where the sound came from and witnessed her sister shoving the man upstairs. Lisbeth took a deep breath and asked, "What are you doing Mary?". "Nothing" replied Marycate. "And who is this man you brought home with you?" asked Lisbeth. Marycate trying to recollect her thoughts said in a confused tone, "This is. This is um. Robert". "No, my name is Lucas" replied the man staring Marycate face to face. "Seriously Marycate you brought another one-night stand to our house. This is the 4 one this week" said Lisbeth. Lucas asked, "Wait you have hooked up with so many men in such a short amount of time. How many men have you slept with?". Marycate a bit embarrassed replied, "233". "Wait you told me only a couple" said Lucas. "And we do not know if she may have gotten an STD from another of the men by my knowledge" said Lisbeth. "I got to go" said Lucas. "Wait don't go" said Marycate. Lucas ran out of the house shutting the main door behind him.
Marycate sat on one of the steps while Lisbeth kept standing in front of her. "Why did you do that Lucas is very nice?" asked Marycate. "Well I'm sorry, but having so many muggles in the house can increase the chance of our location being exposed to the Magic officials of our location and I cannot risk that" replied Lisbeth. "They will never find us. It's been 10 years since our family has been in hiding after we have exposed the wizarding world to muggle society. They probably gave up already" said Marycate. "Oh! No! A crime like that would not be forgotten you we must be very cautious of our surroundings or we would be arrested and sentenced to death" replied Lisbeth. Lisbeth clenches her fists and says, "Please stop doing this sister. If we do our mother would be heartbroken if we are executed and I do not want to make mother worry". Lisbeth exits the living room and walks towards the kitchen.
