Vanquished

It is day 11 of the Third Second Annual 30 Minus 2 Days of Writing challenge hosted by Nicky and Mike at We Work for Cheese and today's prompt is Succubus.  Now shimmer on over and check out the other participants at WWFC.  

First hell freezes over, then zombies and now a demon.  What is this challenge coming to? Anyway, after a brief Google search I found the following clip from a well-known TV series, so I'll leave you with these three lovely ladies to give you their explanation of what a succubus is.  [Update: Apparently the video has been removed from YouTube.]

And how they handle it...there is a spell to attract and vanquish the Succubus.

POOF!

  5. Katherine- It's always good to be prepared.

    ReformingGeek- Me too. They had some great spells.

    nonamedufus- Apparently Ziva doesn't think so.

    Ziva- Doesn't sound like fun to me either.

    Meleah- They still show it on TNT in the mornings. I've seen it so many times, I have a lot of the dialog memorized.

  6. Those chicks are pretty wholesome for being a succubus. I see more Angelina Jolie, dont' you?

  7. Linda- They are the witches who will defeat the succubus, and yes they are wholesome looking witches.

  8. You know, I never even thought about how one goes about getting rid of a succubus. I guess I just assumed that a guy wouldn't really want to until it was too late. I guess it makes sense that his girlfriend would! :-)

  9. Clever choice,Linda. I'd never even heard the word before and here it is all over the Internet. Figures... :)

  10. Why in god's name would anybody want to vanquish a succubus? What a silly idea.

  11. I guess sometimes you want to attract a succubus and perhaps you definitely want to vanquish one:~)

    Loved the ending of this post. It was perfect.

  12. That's a good point. This challenge does have a lot of supernatural, apocalyptic themes going on. What's up with that?

    I never really watched Charmed with any regular interest, but I couldn't help but keep it on the channel if I ever happened to be passing by. Shannen Doherty had that effect on me.

  13. Nicky- Yes! According to the charmed version, they have their way and then they kill 'em.

    Jayne- There's a lot of that sort of thing going around, especially in this challenge.

    MikeWJ- Depends on your point of view, but I guess you'd die happy.

    Sara- I vote vanquish. Glad you liked it. I couldn't think of anything else to end with.

    KZ- And tomorrow it Aliens.
