I've been extremely disappointed with most of the stories for this year's Halloween Contest event. 👻 🎃
However, I found yours very unique and creative. 👌 The only concern that I had was that it was too short. I take that back because I didn't like the opening either. I feel like that had you opened with Julia and her cauldron without her transformation and location being mentioned, it would have given the reader a little better understanding and orientation to lead them into the story.
I knew all along that there was only one possible location for Julia to continue brewing up the perfumes. Because they are somewhat magical, the original lab at the mansion was the only location where the magic worked correctly. So obviously it was a huge mistake for Roger and Marcie to go there. So the reveal that Julia was there didn't surprise me. Considering that, I feel that my suggestions about the opening wouldn't have revealed anything too soon.
But it's still a lot better than most of what I seen so far.
