Looking for a Classic TG story

I just re-read the first part of a story called "Vitamins" by Christine Norman. It was only the first part of a muli-part story, but the location Old Joe's Collection only had the first part.

The collection is a ton of stories from the early internet days of Usenet and BBS sites. These are the stories I found when I was looking for TG stories 30+ years ago.

Thanks for any help!

Looking for a story

I can't remember the name of it or the characters. I remember a couple lives across the way from an older woman who turns out to be a witch. She feeds the man herbal tea that over time mutates his soul so it resembles her body and no longer fits his own. Eventually he feels extremely broken down and she uses a kiss or mouth to mouth to swap their souls.

Familiar to anyone? I have been trying all sorts of search variations here and FM and striking out.

Thanks!!

By Elizabeth Miles / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
