The ending to The Witch of Duva is excruciatingly sad. The tone from the very beginning is dreary. The village is terrified that their own children will be taken and killed by an evil witch after multiple girls have gone missing. The protagonist is a young girl who believes her new stepmother is that evil witch and she needs to get away from home because her brother has conveniently left her and her father is now being brain-washed. She ends up heading into the woods where she finds an old witch that is seemingly harmless while a bunch of strange things happen. When the girl returns home there is a monster waiting, but who will it be?

This is a very well told short! It is sad overall, but the writing is great, the characters good, and the ending shocking.
