2 Week Drabble Wars: (scenario) Write about your character overcoming a weakness that had previously overwhelmed or prevented her from progressing / (dialogue) "Tell me a story where everything works out in the end for the evil witch."
The letter, which contained the news arrived rather late, but it still managed to shake up Minerva's whole day with one swift movement.
As it turned out, Dougal McGregor, the man who once stole her heart and never let go of it ever since, was dead. He died a few days prior, and it was only now that Minerva had gotten hold of the information.
She didn't really know how to process it at first. Of course, she was devastated to some extent, because, even though she didn't want to admit it, she still cared about him, despite the heartbreak she caused when she was so much younger. She was mourning him on the inside, but at the same time, she felt like the news freed her from the binds that were holding her back before. She felt like something has opened up to her once again, and the next day, she decided to write a letter to her former boss, Elphinstone Urquart. She wasn't going to forget, she was still going to stay loyal to her late crush's memory, but she was going to move on. It was time.
Tell me a story where everything works out in the end for the evil witch, she muttered as she scribbled down a few lines onto her parchment. Or so, if you cannot, I will make it my own story.
