The Witch

I turn to look and instead of my wife, I see the witch from the party. The one who is responsible for my transformation. She walks over to me and says, “Hello, Dearie.”

My pacifier falls out of my mouth in surprise.

“Yes,” she says, “I imagine you’re wondering why I’m here. I’ve been checking up on all those I transformed, seeing how their lives are now. Of course, with the others I was doing it stealthily, but with you there’s no need for that. Many others seem to have gotten quite used to their new lots in life, but you are not the same. Frankly, I think you have it too easy.”

I always have a phone nearby so I can type messages and I start to type how pissing and shitting your pants is easy, but she grabs the phone from my hands.

“See this is what I’m talking about,” she says, “Babies shouldn't have phones,” she also sees what I'm watching. It’s a show for adults, “Tsk, tsk. This is very inappropriate for a baby.” She grabs the remote before I can and changes it to a channel for babies. “That’s much more appropriate.”

Martha comes into the room. She sees the witch and doesn’t freak out or anything. Instead, she just says to me, “Enjoying your time with Nana, little Deedee?”

“Oh, we are having a splendid time together,” the witch says, “But really I must be going.” She starts to head out the door but turns to Martha and says, “You know. It’s a really beautiful day out. It’d be quite a shame to spend it all indoors.”

“You’re right,” Martha says, “In fact why don’t I go bring little Deedee here to the park?”

“An excellent idea,” the witch says, “I’m sure she’ll enjoy that.”

She gives me a wry smile and then walks out the door. Martha helps me out of the bouncer and then starts to lead me outside. I think to resist for a moment but realize that will only end in a spanking. So I let her take me outside for the first time since I was transformed. She leads me to her car and somehow there is a large child seat in the back, no doubt the work of the witch. Martha gets me in it, buckles me in, then she goes and grabs the stroller and loads that in the trunk of her car.
