The Witch

At the edge of town where the forest begins, a small wooden cabin stands alone, cloaked in the shadows of the tall trees. The boarders of the neatly-kept property are marked with stone pillars in the corners, and an iron fence that disappears into the woods beyond the back yard. A long and narrow garden runs along the length of the fence on one side. Dark curtains are drawn behind the small arched windows most of the time, and rarely is a sound heard over the quiet whispering of the nearby stream.
