"The Green Decay"

by Robert M. Price
originally published Nightscapes, June 1997

Nabulus, a solitary wizard, has a prob.  He never gets laid.  So he creates a bronze statue of the perfect woman, and summons a life-force to inhabit it. Now he has a girlfriend.

 Aimoth, an acolyte and student of Nabulus, takes a fancy to her and puts the moves on her.  Since Aimoth actually has some experience with chicks and is a better lay, she comes to prefer him.

Nabulus finds out, and puts a horrible curse on them both, called The Green Decay, which is just what it sounds like.  But he himself is found dead.

An amusing but ultimately forgettable Smith pastiche.
