This is the forth installment of my series Witches Brew. For those new to the series, several characters in the story are endowed with a trait that gives them super natural powers. There was an incessant tapping on George's forehead. Samantha was trying to wake him. She thought that she heard someone on the first floor. George grabbed her hand and was about...
