Amanda left the house with the dog; Susie was happy on her leash. She felt like there was something missing, but wasn't sure so she went to her favourite coffee shop and grabbed her usual take away. A nice latte with some chocolate on top. As she and Susie made their way back home, she remembered what she had forgotten. It was 7 pm, and it was time for...THE PUB!! Jokes, she'd not left the pub last night till gone twelve and had been late to feed her beloved Susie. So she was, forgive the terrible pun, 'in the doghouse' already. That overwhelming wave of nausea when you realise you've forgotten something washed over her, so she picked up pace, she shifted gear from nice stroll with dog to running for her life. She had to get home before the takeaway man arrived.

She couldn't have Andy realising she had been lying to him about being on a diet when she hadn't been and just kept rigging the scales when he stumbled into the kitchen. If Andy got back before her, she could only think of one thing to do.

He smashed the scales on the floor and said, “Aha, try weighing yourself now, you fat bitch,” but she said, “Don't body shame me! I have given you the gift of eternal life Andy - And I might take it away from you - Amanda's eyes turned fire red... Smoke, smoke, smoke... Andy turned into lots of little mice, and was eaten by Susie.

Suzie promptly vomited up all over the carpet- so bits of mice were scattered on the floor, in varying states of disembowelment (maybe not a word???) Amanda regained control and got to cleaning up the partially dead mice, but each time she picked a piece of the mice up, it transformed back into a part of Andy’s body. She picked up a mouse leg, and then before her eyes, the leg turned into Andy’s leg again. She panicked, dropped his leg, then ran out of the building,. but she could hear him re-building his body as she left.

She slipped on the last step, looked behind her and saw Reggie stood outside the ice-cream van with a large strawberry ice cream, which looked blood red, and Antonia was waving a dagger in Reggie's direction.

Meanwhile, it turned out Amanda had been replaced by a robot. The real Amanda had been locked in a closet all along. Everything that happened was a spell that went wrong. While it was never confirmed, everyone suspected Mike was behind it all. He was never seen again after that.

(Latest in the Consequences series done at my writing workshop where we all took it in time writing a bit each other before passing it onto the next person - in this case - we did two rounds each. This was done by Reggie, Antonia, Andy N and Amanda Steel). 

This is a work of fiction.
