Well, perhaps setting my intent wasn’t enough…
The curse worked out spectacularly. She had an affair, got caught, their marriage is over. Their kid is expelled. There was broken ribs, punctured lungs, sprained legs. It was fucking impressive.
Problem is, I wanted to get rid of them, and they are still here. I didn’t intend to get rid of them, I intended to use that curse on them. I figured it would create a schism, and a house divided can’t stand. Unfortunately, these people keep trucking on regardless, which is rather admirable.
Lesson learned.
