On New Year's Day, a witch, Jacinta, wakes up...to realize that her New Year's spell has gone terribly wrong. She's dead, now a ghost. And only the demon who she's had an one-night-stand with, Raj, can help bring her back to life. *** A darkly comedic short story for the Romance New Year's Fiesta 2023 contest! The prompt was "It's the morning after a wild New Year's Party and there are quite a few regrets." (Might be the start to a novella, but this is a standalone story. Stay posted.) There is nothing explicit here; however, this story does contain vulgarity, mentions of blood (nothing too graphic), and allusions to sexual scenes and intimacy. Reader discretion is advised. *** 1st Place Winner for Short Story in the Ambrosia Awards!
