The Forgotten Broomstick [50 Word Story]

Gertrude took off her reading glasses and massaged the bridge of her nose. She pushed aside boring paperwork and got up.

Sometimes we all need a break. Even a witch. Why not pick up an old hobby you once enjoyed or relish in a simple pleasure. I'd suggest doodling, singing or boiling up potions.

My last entry for @jayna's 50 word challenge was pretty dark so I wanted to lighten it up this week with the prompt witch. I hope you enjoyed it!
