Dreaming

In their prime, Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie, had no problem conjuring up spells, causing chaos, fighting off evil, and sometimes creating alittle evil of their own. Now, as the trio travels back to their home town of Eastwick, their past seems to be a dream-like fantasy. Nothing they do when they return seems right or normal to them. To these three women, the new town of Eastwick, invaded by hockey moms and househusbands, goes against everything they know. It is like they are in a virtual reality and a dream like trance trying to fight their way out, but keep getting trapt in its grasp. The hold this town, their past memories, and their new memories have on them is a hyperreality. The line between what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen has been blurred and you dont know which way the story will go or if it will take a turn for the worst. This imagination twist makes it feel like you are there with Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie as they try to "counterspell conformity."
