Araminta was called a witch. Now she's gone. And the last person who saw her is making a podcast about her disappearance. *** Only Murders in The Building x Wednesday *** Two years ago, Araminta Green disappeared. She was last seen walking through a graveyard by her neighbor and classmate Jordan Thompson. The next morning Jordan was woken by the cries of Araminta's black cat, who has lived with him ever since. Jordan was a little scared of Araminta. With her pale-powdered face, black lips, spider-web eyeliner, and her love for tarot reading, it was no wonder that people speculated that Araminta was a witch. Although everyone else seems to have stopped looking for her, Jordan can't forget. When he is tasked with creating a podcast for a journalism course, he sees an opportunity to do his own investigation of Araminta's disappearance. With her cat as his co-pilot, he sets off to answer the question of what happened to the girl dubbed the town witch, even as his recordings constantly get disrupted by a cawing crow in the background. An ONC novella using prompt #81: The town's witch has gone missing and no one is looking for her but her two familiars - a crow and a black cat, plus the teen who has always been scared of her.
