Today's #flashfiction Vending Witchery

“I'm a people person.”
The Phantom Of The Opera* #quote

       Seems the trick I discovered in the Smash Bros game had been discovered before, but in order to find it I had to specifically search for it, which explains why I hadn't found it before. I'm thinking that maybe I should learn some more hidden ninja arts of the game and become the ultimate, super-mega, dragon, fighter, knight king of Smash Bros. Or at least become a bit more skilled that kinda-average-ish.

Vending Witchery

        In the world of magic a witch named Felmu took the vending machine business by storm. Soda managed to grasped onto some life along with the classic bottled water and a few other traditional drinks. However Felmu's potions took eighty percent of the market.
        Her recipes, protected from replication by the dark powers of demons and lawyers, created amazing magical effects that people and other species desired. Effects that included normally impossible flavors, amazing rushes of energy without the intense crashes of other drinks like coffee, physical strength boosts, and so many more.
       The wealth Femlu obtained changed her. She cheated on her husband and stopped caring for him and more only for her business, money and fame. It led to divorce and as the proceedings went on the husband became more and more bitter and Femlu caring less for him, now only viewing him as an inconvenience.
       “Your Honor, please, just give me the potion recipes,” the husband pleaded. The judge nodded her head. Femlu didn't pay much attention to what either of them said and just let her lawyer deal with it all, but when she found out that the only thing the husband got was the recipes, not only her mind, but her whole body filled with fear.
       Scandal erupted as the recipes were revealed to the public. Illusion magic. The effects were fake.        The husband didn't want to, and couldn't build a business from scratch to compete with his ex-wife. So he chose to ruin her. Femlu's company became worthless overnight and she had to sell all her assets to deal with all the debt since she still had to compensate for all the product already being produced and needing to be recalled and the fraud lawsuits.

      Her husband drank some nice, refreshing soda as he watched the news about the company collapse.
