Chapter 13: _Powerless Witch
Everything happened so fast, but the one thing that stuck was the sharp pain that shot through my right shoulder when the woman grabbed it, yanking me away from her stall.
"Look at the mess you've made!" She snapped, turning me around so I could face her.
She looked to be in her late forties, with black hair tied in a messy bun.
I breathed heavily but I was speechless on what to say, instead glancing back to get a better view of the tomatoes I'd ruined.
Dear goddess, that seemed like it was going to be a lot of money.
"Hey!" The woman called my attention harshly, causing me to jolt in fright and swerve my head back to her. "I'm not even in the mood to argue. That'll cost you at least one hundred and twenty-five dollars. Pay up!"
One hundred and... What?!
Where the fuck was I going to get all that money from?
I parted my lips, my body still shaking as I stuttered. "I... I don't... I don't–"
"Oh, shut up, witch!" The woman spat— literally.
Her saliva splashed on my face, causing me to squint my eyes.
