On All Hallows Eve, a witch stood before a cauldron in a cabin cast far into the woods.
On All Hallows Eve, a witch stood before a cauldron in a cabin cast far into the woods.
Faye wasn’t sure how her brew would turn out. The market in the village just outside the woods didn’t have any eye of newt left and so she opted for eye of toad. Would it be the same?
As she stirred, she thought about the events a year prior that lead to her making her first batch of Lover’s Lane.
During a routine walk through the woods behind her cabin, Faye stumbled upon a man camping. He’d setup a small site, with a tent for one, a smothered fire pit, and a tree stump for a chair. He stood outside his bright yellow tent, stretching his back as she passed by.
“Hello there,” he said. He stood a foot or so above Faye, with dark slacks and a billowy white shirt. His hair, unkempt and long, was as light as the wood in the center of the stump. “I wasn’t expecting any visitors this morning or I would have picked up some leaves.”
“Hello,” she replied. She couldn’t help but laugh at his comment. “I’m just passing through. I haven’t seen you around here before.”
“Just passing through.” He knelt and picked up a tin cup from the ground. “Did you want any coffee? I just brewed some.”
“No thank you, I’d better be on my way.”
“Very well. It was a pleasure meeting you…”
“Faye.”
“It’s been a pleasure, Faye. The name’s Markop.”
