5 page story "Midnight On Black Mountain"

Synopsis A woman with a terminal illness falls in love with a man named Walter who is indifferent to her. She offers him everything but he says he would never marry a witch. She denies being a witch and asks for a way to prove it. He tells her to go to Black Mountain where witches and demons hold a Black Sabbath. If they reject you, you're not a witch. She goes, and finds to her surprise, herself dancing with demons. A figure appears and proclaims he is her master and she was not a witch when she came to Black Mountain, but she is one now and will live forever with her malady. The figure is revealed to be Walter.
