Fiction: The blind witch curse

By: Mixo

Akua had always felt uneasy around her mother-in-law, Maame. Despite Maame’s blindness, she seemed to possess an uncanny ability to sense Akua’s every move. Maame’s constant criticism and disapproval had become a heavy burden for Akua.

But things took a dark turn when Akua started having vivid dreams. In these dreams, Maame would choke her with her eyes, her grip like a vice. Other times, Maame would attempt to perform twisted witchcraft rituals on her. Akua tried to brush it off as mere fantasy, but the dreams lingered, leaving her with a sense of dread.

One day, Akua discovered a shocking truth. Maame, despite her blindness, was a skilled witch who had been using her powers to manipulate and control those around her. Maame’s goal was to destroy Akua and her children, ensuring her son’s inheritance and dominance.

Determined to protect her family, Akua sought the help of a local spiritual leader. Together, they uncovered Maame’s dark secrets and worked to break her curse. But Maame would not go down without a fight.

In a thrilling confrontation, Akua faced Maame, who unleashed her full fury of witchcraft. However, Akua’s courage and the spiritual leader’s guidance proved stronger. Maame’s powers were undone, and her curse was lifted.

Finally, Akua and her children were free from Maame’s grasp. They left the village, leaving Maame alone in her darkness, her blind eyes no longer able to manipulate and control.
