Last time on: Short Stories and Poems Presents! ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION(subtitle; Divorce court!)

 Suddenly, an atmospheric disturbance occurred in the room and two men appeared out of nowhere:

Agent 1: "Who are you and where did you just come from?"

Intruders:  "I'm Dr. Steven Strange, and this is the Socceror Supreme, and we have a few questions of our own!!"

TO BE CONTINUED:



Dr. Steven Strange and his colleague were at a loss for words when they arrived at the call center, for their mystical arts suddenly stopped working:  It is the nature of the A. I. software matrix that dampers or totally restricts any kind of witchcraft, magic, or sorcery activity as soon as it detects it.

Agent 1:  "How can I help you, Mr. Steven Strange?"

Dr. Strange:  "That is Dr. Steven Strange!"  "What is it you people do, How is this place possible?"  "Also, how have you stopped our mystic powers from working?"

Agent 1:  "Normally, I would be glad to help you with any inquiry, but you have made an unauthorized entry to our building, and the information you have requested is classified!"  "Only my supervisor can assist you further!"  "Supervisor!?"

Dr. Strange:  "Thank you!"

Supervisor:  "What is all the commotion about, and just what is the nature of your surprise visit?"

Dr. Strange:  "I and the sorcerer supreme were on a mission when suddenly we were brought here and were unable to continue on our journey!"  "Just What is this place, and what do you do here?"

Supervisor:  "This is a call center for the: ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION, however, that's all I can legally tell you"  "However I do recognize you as Dr. Steven Strange of the Avengers, so you will have to be briefed in things by the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. NICK FEARY!" unless he has been replaced by someone by now!

Dr. Strange:  "Delightful!"  "Well if you will kindly remove your dampening field or whatever it is, we will be on our way?"

Supervisor:  "Sorry, that is not necessary."  "Security is on the way to escort you out of the building, and here they are."  "Just follow these gentlemen, and as soon as you are out of the building your mystical arts should start working again. "  "Next time make an appoint and remember to use the door?"  "Have a nice day Dr. Strange!"  

Meanwhile, In divorce court:

Judge Mabline:  "Well, the next case on my docket outta be very interesting!"  Pastor David Armstrong is suing his wife of 30 years for divorce for Adultery, plus embezzlement of funds from the church, and for mental cruelty, because for years she and her 3 daughters have been secretly practicing witchcraft in a secret room in their home."  "Bailith, let's get this one out of the way fast"  "It's giving me the creeps already"

Bailith:  "All rise for the honorable Judge Mabline!?"  "You may be seated!"

Judge Mabline:  "May the defense call the first witness?"

Defense lawyer: "I call Mrs. Armstrong to the stan!"  After she came to the witness stand:

Bailith:  "Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?"

Mrs. Armstrong:  "I don't want to touch that book, but yes, I will, just hover my hand over it and say yes!"

Bailith:  "Be seated!"

Prosecutor:  "So how long have you been practicing witchcraft?"

Defense lawyer: Objection, relevance!

Judge Mabline:  "Sustained"  Please direct your line of questions on the subject of the divorce proceedings.

Prosecutor:  "How long have you been diverting funds from my client's church to another church in California?"

Mrs. Armstrong: "For 30 years!"

Prosecutor:  "And just what is the name of the church, you transferred the money to?"

Mrs. Armstrong:  "The First Church of Satan!" She said with a wicked, evil grin!"

Prosecutor:  "One last question!"  "During this marriage, how long were you and your daughters participating in ritual orgies in the secret room in your home?"

Mrs. Armstrong:  "For 20 years!"

Prosecutor:  "No further Questions!"

Judge Mabline:  "If there are no further questions from either side I'm ready to make a ruling on this case, for I have seen and heard quite enough!?"

Defense lawyer:  "No other witness to call, and no questions!"

Judge Mabline:  "It is the ruling of this court, that, based on the evidence presented in this case, I grant you your divorce and you also retain all properties, and all money embezzled from the church should be returned. "  "Also will the defendant rise for sentencing?"  She rises, with her still wicked grin.  "We are sentencing you to 50 years with possible parole in 30 or 40 years with good behavior, if that is possible, at the state mental institution of the criminally insane."  "Do you have anything to say further, and do you understand or agree with the nature of the sentence?"

Mrs. Armstrong:  "Yes!"  "Only that my punishment in some ways violates my constitutional rights, of freedom of religion!"

Judge Mabline:  "The statement is recorded and noted, however, my ruling is the finale, and this case is over, "  "Bailith take this woman into custody and take her away from me fast!"

Judge Mabline:  "There will be a recess until 2:30 pm before the next! case"  As the people file out of the courtroom, the authorities take his wife away!  David is calm and relieved that it is over, feeling good about his future.  When he arrives home, he is tired and exhausted from the day!  He decided to lie down and take a nap.  As he drifted off to sleep, meditating on the 23 Psalm, he started to dream. His thoughts were focused on reaching his lost members and helping them to return to the church and breaking them free from the power of the occult and being protected like he is now, and building up his flock again! Word!
