The Black Angel

Paul Bell

The full moon rises, giving light to the shrouded figures sitting motionless deep within the woods

The Circle begins to stir

Strange chants in the dead of night give way as the Black Angel rises from her sacred grave

The Circle entwined, taking power from her inner being

A virgin is sacrificed

Or would have been

For this is Britain today

Where virgins just don’t grow on trees, woods or no woods

Totally disgusted with the lack of morals in Britain 

She ups sticks 

Directed by a powerful red light

She heads off to Amsterdam.

    Starts so serious then the punch. I wonder if there are more virgins in Amsterdam. A fun read Paul

    So she's a Dutch pancake? 🀣 This is hilarious, I do believe that COVID helped the slump. 🌹

      Can't beat a Dutch pancake.

      Paul, I should have known you weren’t going to let that sinister opening behave itself for long. πŸ˜‚ The Black Angel storming off in disgust finished me. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

        You know a country is going downhill when even the witches are flying off to pastures new.

        Hello, Paul,

        Is Britian that bad, that virgins are fleeing to the brothels of Europe. You really got me with this one, the opening half being so dark and then; what the hell is going on here. I wonder has Brexit got anything to with the flight of the virgins. Well done indeed.

        Fond regards,

        Tony.

          Was a bit tongue and cheek. Brexit saved us from Europe, now they're getting us back by dumping migrants on us. lol
