[Fiftywords] With Her Flying Broom

She took off on a flying broom. She took off, to find her own territory.

Hi again to another one of my fifty word stories. This weekly challenge currently being maintained by the awesome @jayna and the prompt this week is "Witch."

While I never liked the historical witches, I love the fictional ones so my feelings toward the term is a mixed bag. Out of all witches however, the titular character of "Kiki's delivery service" is my favorite. I loved that movie and how it put the witches in modernized peaceful world. I want to write a story in a world like that.


With Her Flying Broom

She traded her red dress for a black coat.
She bid her parents good-bye as her broom twitched.
Ready to fly.

She glanced at her home again, burning the scenery in her memory.
She'd follow the ancient ritual, finding a territory to call her own.

The new witch took off.


So, how was it?

I wanted this story to feel mysterious yet lets you feel at home. It's hard to do when you have only 50 words. Most of my other #fiftywords had "The End" or something after the last word, but I didn't find it a good way to end this story, it's her beginning.

So, what are your thoughts?
Please tell me in comments.
