“Full circle around the sun
Blink too many times and it is gone.
The time to give thanks is taken for granted.
Leading to greed under trees that were unseeded.
Corporate greed and the capitalist machine.
Well oiled to make monet off the naive.
Keep your materialistic things.
I need not want to hear bells that ring.
This time will be mine.
Not the old jolly man of your mind’s design.
I will come to town and it will not be fun.
Unless you succumb to that which you shun.”
The smoke swirls as we see Samantha Voxx’s iconic scarlet tinted hair in between the smoke. She laughs as she watches the smoke rise. She nods her head in delight as she looks into the camera.
“You want to know why I am thankful? I am thankful that those like me are finally being seen for more than just some broom riding Halloween trope. This World Series of Wrestling has opened the world’s collective eyes to the power those like us possess. You see, the last time you saw me, it was a day in my life and you all tuned in and loved it. I had all eyes on me and that allowed me to show you my strengths as well as my vulnerabilities. Too often in this business we are made to show our strength and sometimes put on a strong face even if we are dead inside. For too long I faked my way through this life as a wrestler. I did the job needed in Revolution1 for a quick paycheck and that brought on many questions. Did I truly want to be in this business anymore? Did I want to keep doing this and making a mockery of this business and my people? I was all ready to give up and then I got the call from the Sauce Boss for this opportunity. I almost declined it but something told me I needed to. My ancestors said this was the break we had waited for. I decided to accept it and felt I would instantly regret it. I saw my name across from names like Jason Cashe, Raion Kido, Lex Collins, KPN, among others. I began thinking I didn’t stand a chance. The first scores came out and I was right. I wasn’t fit for this competition. The first cut rolled out and there was my name. It may have been the last name in the cut but it was there none the less. I am thankful for the Sauce Boss giving me the ability to show who I am and why I am. I am going to keep it all up.”
Samantha begins slinking around her lair as she looks out the window and sees the rain and thunder as the temperature drops significantly. She shivers with a mixture of cold and delight.
“You know the real great thing about this time of year is it truly separates the grown from the kids. The kids look out the window and see snow and cold and they think of snow men and sledding. Adults don’t see that. Adults see the true drear of this season. The holidays bring on the depression of the year. We see the truth behind the bells and whistles. We see the lies behind the curtain that is the red, green, gold, and silver color gradiants. We see the truth behind the so called gifts of the season. That shows exactly what everyone here truly is. A child with wonder in their eyes as they gaze upon the new concept vehicle, the Axtgriff, from Kayfabe Airlines. This thing is something from a preteens fever dream. A vehicle that can travel through time. What would I need it for? I have powers beyond that. I can astral project to anywhere and any time I want. This is just a trophy to me. If I win the vehicle, I will show it off simply to say, even if just in that moment, I was the best in the world. I was a role model and a symbol that was hated all at once. I was the envy of Amy Harrison, Taurus, Xavier Lux, and the rest. I made them all my bitch in that moment. I pride myself on who I am and I will stay true to that. My religion is a set of firm believers in the rule of three. Whatever energy you exert, you will be rewarded threefold. Do no harm lest ye want three times the pain. Thou hast obeyed the Law. But mark well, when thou receivest good, so equally art bound to return good threefold." For this is the joke in witchcraft, the witch knows, though the initiate does not, that she will get three times what she gave, so she does not strike hard. When I hear any wrestlers speak it is always the bad they are going to do. I am here to tell you the good I am doing for the world, and the witch community in general. This victory will give us a power we haven’t felt in centuries. Whilst our kind was being brutally murdered we took it all in stride. We didn’t rise up and try to take out those who caused these transgressions for we knew they would get theirs. When you look at the world today and you see Genocide, Racism, Sexism, hate crimes, et cetera, just know it was all caused by the transsgressions of your ancestors. You were bred to a people who know nothing more than to go after the weak. You attack those you know cannot defend themselves and you bully those who are weaker or lesser than you. YOU caused this. The human race caused all of this and now you must all pay the price. I won’t raise my hand to stop it for that would doom me and my race like it has yours. You all continue down the same twisted paths and you refuse the path less traveled. Just because a path is new or unknown doesn’t mean you have to shy away from it. People have asked me, Samantha, why don’t you use your powers to seemingly stay undefeated in the ring forever? I could do that but what would that accomplish? That would give witches everywhere a bad name. That would make it where all witches would want to stay in hiding. Doing it on my own, shows we don’t have to be defined by our powers but rather by who we truly are. So, if I win this vehicle, it won’t be due to my powers. It will be due to my inner will and strengths. THAT is simply magickal!”
She laughs like crazy as the smoke envelopes her and just like a flash of lightning, she is gone.
--------------------
“Snowdrifts and Snowflakes.
Once asleep is now awake.
When there is time there is lull.
When there is human there is null.
No power divine.
Nor hustle nor grind.
Can stop the uprising from coming to pass.
Your collective egos will shatter like glass.
The one named Voxx will end your hopes.
When you look back on it, you will realize you are a hoax.
You were never meant to get this far.
You were never meant to set the bar.
You are nothing, you are a fail.
You will soon fall and become oh so frail.
When you hear these words please take heed.
The warning is all you will need.
Keep thinking you are smart
Keep thinking you are special.
Keep thinking that you are something
Other than a mere vessel.
When you leave this Earth
Where will you go?
The answer is simple.
You will return to the place where the roots still grow.”
The smoke again swirls as Samantha hears her cell phone ringing. She answers it.
“Hello?”
The voice on the other end sounds familiar. A laugh erupts as they speak.
“Hey Cuz! Your favorite cousin Katarina here. Look I am proud of you but you need to drop the schtick. We all know you are not a witch. We all know you are just another poser in this business trying to be different and spooky.”
Samantha cut Katarina off.
“Is that why you came back in my life? To doubt me? To disown me like the rest of the family already has? Is this because of your history with witches like Arcana? Come on now. You know I am stronger and more formidable than she ever was.”
Katarina laughs again.
“Samantha, this has nothing to do with Arcana. This has everything to do with the fact that you are fake. You want these people to look up to you under false pretenses. There is nothing you can do to fix this. There is nothing you can do to make me believe this lie you have concocted. I grew up with you Sam. I know who you were and who you are. I am going to end you and this little charade.”
Samantha ends the call. She wasn’t going to sit there and get put down like that. Samantha was sick and tired of being a joke and a laughing stock. The World Series of Wrestling was proving that. She went back to her cauldron as the scene faded to black.

Dream Sequence
(Off Camera)
The camera pans in on Sauce Boss as he stands in front of the Kayfabe Airlines new Axtgriff. He looks at the competitors for the World Series of Wrestling as he speaks.
“You have all done an amazing job the last few weeks and the wrestling world is better with each and every one of you in it. I wish we could give Axtgriffs to EVERYONE but unfortunately there is only one in existence and only one of yo can win it. There was much deliberation between me and a select chosen few fans that have agreed that the winner of this Axtgriff vehicle is…”
The camera pans along the contestants as Sauce continues.
“Samantha Voxx!”
Samantha looks shocked as she walks over. Sauce shakes her hand and hands her the keys. She gets in and opens the sunroof. She hangs out the top as she screams in sheer joy.
“WHOOO! That is how we do it! Witch power yall. It is not just about spells and cauldrons it is about brains and strategy. It is about perseverance. When I came into this competition, everyone doubted me, myself included. Now here I sit winner of two out of the last three competitions and a top five finish in the other. My shirts are flying off the shelves and my name is in the mouths of the higher ups in most companies in this business. You all are formidable competition and I am proud to be amongst you. This guarantees I will be one of the Saucey 16 and honestly that is the greatest title I have ever held. You all will see a new me very soon and it will leave you all in shock. You are not ready for the new leaf I am turning over. You are not ready for the new and improved witch on the block. I have been seen for so long as bitch for no reason and now you will all see that I am not a bad person and I am not a bad witch. I dare any of you to try to find fault within me. I dare any of you to come at me as a person, as a witch, as a wrestler. If you can find a fault in me, show me. Point it out. Show me where I am in the wrong and I will show you where you are even worse in the same aspect. You all have faults, WE all have faults but it is how we overcome them that makes a World Series Champion. Whoever the other fifteen left after this event are, I hope you are ready for hell. I hope you are ready for a deep dive into the human condition and the instincts hidden deep within. The instincts we all hide that makes us all ugly on the inside. The instincts that come out in war. The bloodlust we all possess will be the downfall of you all. You all are greedy and joined this competition for the wrong reasons. Now the least greedy of the group is the owner of the Axtgriff. I could sell it to the highest bidder. I could throw these keys into the crowd of you all and watch you rip one another apart to try and take control. I would rather watch you all weep as I leave in what you all want so badly. I will see you all in the next round.”
With a loud squeal of tires Samantha does a donut and pulls out of the spot as she wakes up and sits up in her bed. She smiles as she feels accomplished. She knows she has come so far in her career just in the last couple of months. This competition is now hers for the taking. She was finally full of confidence and not self doubt.
Blink too many times and it is gone.
