Weekly Serial: A 1950's Witch - Episode One

We all know that a serial is an old literary technique that published a small portion of a larger story in a weekly or monthly or quarterly magazine. Audiences were gripped and the anticipation for more was sometimes unbearable. I think the Serial should be brought back. While I can't say that anyone will be begging and/or anticipating my work, I can release small portions of a larger fiction in Serial format. 

In this episode we meet Maevis, our hero and a half demon, half witch who survives and thrives in 1950's small-town America, mostly and specifically, by creating a holographic type husband that keeps the gossiping biddys off her back and allows her more freedom than a single woman in her era. Maevis has accidently found herself convincing her boss that she can find his missing child despite the fact that she has no experience and dislikes sticky, loud children. Will she be able to solve the case? or will her past interrupt all her plans...yes, it's obviously that one.
