The Man with the Silver Matchbox — Jamie McNabb
(SHORT STORY)
Nothing beats the smell of a burning witch. Or so Uncle Zhiguli, the witch-burner-in-chief of a sawmill town on the lower Columbia River, has always believed.
When he takes it into his head to rid his beloved area of its new high priestess, he and his nephew, Misha, organize a raid on her coven's next Sabbat. However, the new high priestess has made plans of her own. In a twinkling, a straightforward witch burning turns into a hot time in the moonlight atop Humbug Mountain, completely with gunfire and marshmallows.
This story of obsession and revenge twists and turns through a maze of channels and shoals worthy of its setting before finally reaching the wide expanse of its conclusion.
This story was originally published under the byline Jamie McNabb.
