Wednesday's Words on a Friday

The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems.

The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind.

If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along and read it.

This month the prompts are supplied by Elephant's Child and can be found here.

This week's words/prompts are: 
1. sunless 
2. drawn 
3. forgotten

and/or: 

1. delicate 
2. walk 
3. aggressive 
4. word 
5. witch

Here is my story: 

Roger Putnam watched as Molly Bakker's brisk walk brought her towards his desk. For a woman with such delicate looks, she sure could move in a hurry, he thought. 
He noticed her mouth drawn tight and puckered like someone had drawn the purse strings tight. He paused in his typing, prepared to greet her with the civility she demanded, but she began first. 

"Mr Putnam! clearly you have forgotten our deadline!" "Ummmm, which deadline is that?" said Roger mildly. 
"The thousand word story on that supposed witch who demands gold cross her palm for every prediction most of which declare a sunless future for the world if we don't stop the incessant polluting. Now stop what you are doing and get to work on that story. We need an aggressive counter attack to make her retract her statements!" 
"Yes, Mrs Bakker, I'll get right on that," he said ripping the current sheet of paper out of his typewriter. 
Satisfied, Molly Bakker turned a neat circle and repeated her brisk walk back into her room.  Roger Putnam made a note in her file and a suggestion that at the next session the psychiatrist try to find out more about the "supposed witch". 
It wasn't at all unusual for Molly to come up with crackpot stories and theories, but the witch was a new one. 
He checked the time her next dose of medication was due and signed off the chart, to be handed over to the next shift straight after the dinner rounds were done.
