The Warlock’s Apprentice

Ralph couldn’t stand the tenebrous gloom that hung over the hovel and did everything he could to bring a bit of life to the place. Once, he tied ribbons around the frog legs, but they caused the spell to misfire. Instead of being cursed with thirteen years of bad luck, the enemy king found himself with a penchant for curly hair. Another time, he ruined a batch of poison apples by adding cinnamon. His master was constantly berating Ralph’s predilection for bright-colored robes.

It was never easy being gay, but it was especially difficult as a warlock’s apprentice.
