"I warned you to stop catcalling women on the street! Now I'll turn you into a newt!"
Shannan assessed the man, now reptile, and sighed
"You better practice your spells. This is a skink, not a newt!"
Lola countered
"Skink, newt, same difference. He's got 4 legs and a tail."
"Well, by that logic, you may as well have turned him into a toy poodle!" Shannan fumed
"Sloppy spells come from an undisciplined mind. You need to focus, Lola!"
"Quit hounding me, Shannan! You're such a perfectionist!"
And with that, Lola pointed at Shannan and mumbled some incomprehensible words
"Ha! How do you like that, Ms. Perfect?!! I turned you into a frog! Now go hop away and leave me alone!"
The amphibian, formerly human, stared at Lola and spoke in a perturbed monotone
"I'm a toad, you nitwit."

I like that Cohen quote! The artwork accompanying your piece is also captivating. Great story, as well. The title hooked me immediately. Love this line: "Sloppy spells come from an undisciplined mind."
Ha! Guess they should agree to disagree.
Some toads never learn - very entertaining (which gets high marks from me).
I guess there are imaginary gardens for the nagging witch.. sloppy witches can be a nuisance.
Hm..learned something today :D Wonderful job on the short story
This bought a huge smile on my face :D nicely done!
