Janustory Day 19: The ancient wisewoman who gave me the receipt to dispel ghosts and evil beings promised me it would work.
#janustory #wordcount19
Here's where we are so far:
- Walking.
- Bone-weary trekking.
- Blisters have popped.
- Sunrise lights boulders pearly.
- Rain at last has ceased.
- First farmhouse welcomes me with tea.
- Desperate for news, trinkets are swept aside.
- The family lines up to hear my tale.
- Acrid smoke stings my eyes from the smoldering fire.
- The baronial war is finally over, but not the famine.
- Their narrow faces mirror mine as we commiserate over the harvest.
- Mysterious fragrant blood-red flowers have been springing up where battles were fought.
- The farmer worries as cattle, sheep, and goats are sickening in the fields.
- His six children have been warned to stay close to the house and barn.
- I’ve heard strange rumors of weird sights in copses that saw battle on misty nights.
- The weary farmer confirms my growing fears and we discuss how to banish the troubled ghosts.
- As the twilight gathers in the corners of the kitchen, we line up the banishing spell ingredients.
- Jonathan, the young farmer, has rounded up some neighbors to assist in freeing their fields from these hauntings.
