!!! One Night Only !!! Magpabatok sa Mangkukulam! Salamangka Bar — March 7, 2023 10 PM to 3 AM

Cassandra did a double take when she saw the flyer.

Magpabatok sa mangkukulam! — Get a tribal tattoo done by a witch!

Cassandra didn’t believe in witches, but she had always wanted to get a legit tribal tattoo from a legit “mambabatok”—a tattoo artist wielding just a bamboo stick, a thorn, soot, and her own two hands to create hand-tapped tattoos for her friends and paying visitors.

The ad had been posted by the occult bar, Salamangka, that was just a few blocks from her condo. Cassandra had seen a few weirdoes walking out of its intricately carved doors a few times, but she’d never seen what was inside the place because the storefront windows were coated in black paint.

She had never been interested in going there anyway. She expected to be surrounded by a gloomy bunch of posers nursing cranberry cocktails or choking on bourbon, auras replete with contrived angst.

This new development piqued her interest, though. The only practicing mambabatok she knew about was in a province over eight hours away. Not to mention she’d have to hike up a mountain for two hours just to get to visit their tribe and get the tattoo.

She took out her phone to take a photo of the flyer, then set a reminder for the night of March 7.

This product is what you need in your life! This is what you need to make your life easier. This Neuro-Phone will help you make and answer calls easier and listen to music easier and quicker. This device is similar to a diabetic arm thingy in that it snaps onto your body (just below the ear) and it connects to your nerves and thus connects to your cerebellum and whatever you think, it will do.

When someone calls you either with their phone or with their own Neuro-Phone, you think “answer call” and it will answer the call and you can hear the caller within your head and either answer out-loud or answer using your thoughts.

Along with easier phone calls, you can also listen to music easier. You can ask the Neuro-Phone to play whatever music you like. You can make the request out-loud or in your head via thought. You can hear the music directly in your head and you can also share your music with other Neuro-Phone users with their consent and show them what music you listen to or ridicule what music they listen to ;)

This will be available next month for £299.99 or you can pre order a set of Neuro-Phones and free washing liquid for £349.99. Be the coolest guy in your friend group in the year 2323, and have the newest set of Neuro-Phones either for yourself or to share with friends and/or family.

I sit with my sister in the living room, as she braids my black locks.

“You ought to get your hair magically stiffened” she’s says. “Then you’ll never have to worry about a bad hair day.”

I roll my eyes at her, and wince when she tugs slightly. “Not everything should be fixed with magic” I respond.

She ignores me, continuing to hum the cartoons melody along with the show.

I don’t know why Tara can be so stubborn. She refuses to see that ever since mother brought us to this world, every since she married a warlock, we’ve forgotten to act human.

The cartoon ends, and a commercial pops up on the screen.

“Main, can you skip that” my sister asks.

I bend to the side to grab the remote, but it is to far away, and her tug on my braid is strong.

“It’s only fifteen seconds, you can wait” I say and she huffs.

I turn my gaze to the TV, noticing another fairy product. Those are the worst. At least the witches make helpful things.

“Have you ever gotten tired of your kids whining all day” the fairy in the commercial says. “Well worry no more! The bad mouth mouthwash is here for you! With the price of only 10 Joons, you can finally live in peace. The bad mouth mouthwash washes every last word away, and saves you parents, the headache.”

I scoff at how ridiculous and cruel the comercial was, before noticing my mom sitting on the couch.

She grabs her phone and I hear a bing come from her phone.

“Mom?” I question.

“Yes?” She responds.

“What did you buy?”

She puts her phone down and says, “bad mouth mouthwash. Your mother needs a break”

Tara didn’t seem to mind and my mother sits unfazed.

This world really is far crueler, and different than what my mother said it would be like. And I only suspect things will get worse once I join school with magical kids. Kids who could shut me up. Kids who could make me fly, and vomit, and can make me sing until I lose my voice.

I don’t like the world of magic.
