The Story of the Evil Witch that Could
Once there was a young girl named Marge who was dissatisfied with her name.
"It makes me think of butter," said one friend.
"It makes me think of the edges of type on a paper," said another.
She wanted a name that would suit her perfectly. She came home one day and her 10-year-old brother told her, "Back off, Evil Witch!"
Marge was going to be insulted but suddenly she thanked her brother for his help. Confused and convinced that Marge had put a spell on him, he ran away.
Evil Witch was the coolest, most neatest name that Marge had ever heard of. And if the name didn't fit her personality, then she would just change her personality.
One thing that "Evil Witch" (as she answers to so reluctantly) loved devotedly to do was to sing opera. She noticed if she sang one etude it would produce hypnotic effects: everyone would bob their heads in similar directions and do breaststroke arms.
Maybe, Evil Witch thought, I can compose other etudes, sing them with my unique vocal cords, and make people do other things.
So she tried it. She was constantly muttering "I think I can" while writing down notes, so somewhere along the line she acquired the nickname of the Evil Witch that Could, or Eve for short.
Finally she finished her first etude. Then she sang it in public. This one let people allow pigeons to land on their heads while the pigeons were hypnotized to poop. When she stopped singing many people wondered why they had pigeon poop all over themselves.
Over the following year Eve composed many pieces that brainwashed citizens and aliens alike. This was all for amusement....
(Unfinished...oh well!)
