“Witches! Witches!”
The crowd sounded giddy. Four burnings at once. They advanced down Central Avenue to Robbsen’s Circle, past the inn where I sat drinking. Most wore holiday attire—it was not unlike a Yulith procession. Our Lord Providence scoured the land for our amusement. The pious citizens of the capital had quite the taste for blood. I kept my attention on my beer.
Moans drifted in and a stench.
“That one is comely,” said the man to my right, craning his neck.
The barmaid winced. “Used to be.”
I knocked my mug on the bar, and she refilled it. Her fingers brushed mine. I made a presentable man. Many women enjoy the waif look. Fancied it myself. How much better life would be if I could spend my days flirting in taverns. I crammed my cap on tighter and took a gulp. The bitter house brew offended my tongue but offered a comfortable mood.

“Hey,” the man to my right said, “I was watching that.”

The man shrugged and slurped his cordial. His words slurred. “None at all, but I approve of others taking on the task. Makes a better world.”
“How is the world better without the good Marstair couple who have tended us all? They healed my little brother of the blood fever.”
Pauly stood, choosing a side to die for. “What price did you pay for their services?”
