Is it cliché? Perhaps. Is it hot? I certainly hope so. As always, I’d love to hear your comments and feedback. More stories on my profile.

Enjoy!
Old Angie had been a fixture, if not a resident, of the little village for as long as anyone could remember. Others might have used accusations of witchcraft as a way to ostracize an already isolated old woman, but in Angie’s case, the truth of it was no secret. The townsfolk had all learned soon enough that it was in their best interest to give the old crone a respectful nod if their paths crossed. They left bread, cheese, and other small gifts on her doorstep if they were feeling generous, or had a particular need to be in her good graces. If livestock or children in the village fell ill, Old Angie was often the they would seek for aid. She was, more often than not, glad to assist with a poultice, curious drink, or a muttered spell that seemed to cure them right up.
