Witch Doctor
-
We should have listened to our guide when he tried to talk us out of going to the forbidden village. He begged us not to go, or at the very least, to leave my pretty wife behind. But I had insisted, and when I upped the amount of money, our guide reluctantly agreed. When the village was in sight, my wife complained of a sudden chill. A moment later she looked at me with panic in her eyes, and then she gave me a twisted smile. She began stripping off her clothes and spoke animatedly in a foreign language I’ve never heard, but my guide seemed to know. He explained to me what she was saying. “I am the witch doctor of the village. You should not have come here. As punishment, I have possessed your wife’s body. I will use her to sleep with our men. All of our men. Perhaps after they tire of her, she will be allowed to return. If you follow, you will die.” Several natives suddenly appeared from the dense jungle around us, all brandishing weapons. The guide begins to pull me back the way we came so we don’t catch a spear to the belly. My wife laughed, then turned and walked towards the village. As she did I saw her hands caress her naked body appreciatively. I leave knowing it will be a long time before I am able to see my wife again.
