Witching Hour #69

A man accepts a witch doctor's curse because it will give him eternal life if he can keep draining the life force from other living things through his fingers. Neighbors sense his evil and threaten to shoot him unless he moves. He removes his gloves to defend himself and his wife throws herself in-between the gunman and her husband, glancing his hand. Within moments, she rots away to nothing. Remorseful, the man allows his stored life force to drain away so that he dies at last.
