Just a head on a stick

Three Witches

Pictured left to right: Calamity, Pariah, Infamy

Life as just a head on a stick, propped in a corner of the garage, isn’t much. I suppose it’s better than being just a head on a stick, say … in an outhouse, with a roll of toilet paper jammed on your nose.

Even so, you’re still just a head on a stick.  And so was poor, poor Pariah. For six long years she peered from her corner behind the step ladders.  An innocuous presence, her derelict existence perfectly depicted the essence of her name while her two sisters, Calamity and Infamy, enjoyed a heightened status of being heads on much longer sticks.

I’ts a tossup whether or not building a body for Pariah has contributed to her existential beauty, but there were always supposed to be three Grim Sisters.

That's a dried up maple leaf in Calamity's hair - she was always a bit of a princess
