Discussion Nudges for "The April Witch" by Ray Bradbury http://lossofsoul.com/LIFE_IS/Story/Bradbury-en.htm Wordsmith Jarvinen - 17 Oct 2019 The timing of the story is off by half a year but the witch theme is right on. Look at the words Bradbury is using. The prose is both highly descriptive and using a lot of metaphors. The witch is young and enthusiastic, but she is also manipulating someone without their consent.
