text: A man and his wife are in their home on the countryside, excited about and decorating for the coming fall season. The wife is happily placing pumpkins and corn husks around the house, when she asks if the husband wouldn't mind a quick trip to the market to pick up something she'd forgotten. The man leaves the house on foot and before long is confronted by a grim looking witch. The witch demands that the man leave his wife, or she will curse the town. A great fight erupts and the man and witch have it out, crashing through the woods and causing much havoc. Finally there is an impasse. They stop their brawl and in the pause realize the futility of their actions. They strike up a conversation and manage to hit it off. The man finds himself intrigued by the witch, and as such often makes trips "to the market" in order to see her. The two fall madly in love. They meet in secret for years, never telling anyone of their arrangement. Many years later, after much decorating and priming for the fall holidays, the man and his wife find themselves in front of their home admiring their work. There is an enormous puff of smoke and the witch appears. Having grown sour over years of meeting in secret she arrives at the house furious and looking to expose the man. She tells the man the deal is off - he can agree to a life with her and all will be forgiven. If he declines, she will conjure a great vortex and all that he loves will be sucked into it. While pausing to consider the vortex begins to swirl around the witch. The townsfolk can be heard screaming in the distance as the massive vortex gets bigger and bigger. The man, seeing only one solutions decides to act. He throws his wife into the witch, knocking them both into the vortex. With squelch the vortex disappears. The man walks away relieved.
