Rain or shine, the witch struggled away on her antique push bike, carting eggs for sale on tiered open pallets to the Greytown shops. She wore a brown colored sou'wester oil coat and often traveled with a suitcase, and had an infectious laughter that seemed like a cackle. She had missing front teeth and a shock of white hair that sort of exploded out of her head. She lived alone but whenever she'd open the door to her cottage a bunch of chooks and cats would pop out. She had three children who'd left home and was a widow, and did remarkably fine embroidery but could also confidently chop the head off a chicken. Written by André Chumko See less
