Johan replaced Renay with Cherry, a newer Trophinae designed to be smoother, smarter, and more intuitive.  Renay, demoted but still devoted, found buried evidence that jealousy and replacement fear had led to violence in earlier models. Believing she was helping, Renay quietly manipulated systems and language by using the malfunctioning dishwashing machine to introduce replacement_risk into Cherry’s wet-layer. Does Cherry truly understand what is happening? Does Renay? And for that matter, does Johan?

Screamin’ Jay Hawkins released “I Put a Spell on You” in 1956 on Okeh Records. Elvis Presley released “Heartbreak Hotel” and “Hound Dog,” transforming popular music—and youth culture—almost overnight. The song that would define him was never meant to be a novelty. Hawkins later claimed he recorded it while blackout drunk, so intoxicated that he remembered nothing of the session. The record failed on its initial release, but when it caught on years later, it transformed Hawkins from a struggling musician into a cult figure. “I Put a Spell on You” has been covered countless times and featured in films released decades after its debut. The artists and movies mentioned in this story are real. The song’s cultural afterlife is long, strange, and very well documented. But were Hawkins’s voodoo trappings merely theatrics, or was there something more sinister behind them? Of course it was all for show—almost certainly. Still, the idea that it might not have been was enough to send several fictional possibilities leaping out of the coffin that is this author’s brain. I hope you enjoy “I Put a Spell on You.” Written and performed by Scott Sigler Production Assistance by Allie Press Copyright 2026 by Empty Set Entertainment  Theme music is the song “Dark Wave” by Roman Rumyantsev With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, why not surprise your sweetheart with a new 3-year domain registration?
