Cherreads

Chapter 11 - CHAPTER 11: That Witch

She lay on the uncomfortable carpet that wasn't too far from touching the bottom of the tipi cloth. Which was a thin layer, due to them being too poor they couldn't have the luxury thick ones. The winter was their nightmare, when it was too cold to harvest their crops and they would freeze up like popsicles. They had nothing but that uncomfortable carpet, let alone the fact that they had no jackets. "Hey Malon, could you come over really quickly I want to talk about something I've been thinking of!" But of course, Malon was too far away to hear her attempt at a scream. He stayed whistling away as he planted the new set of crops. Fagget sighed, before getting up, what would she do now with no duties? Nothing but her house, and herself, then the thought hit her hard. She could go to the new festival in the afternoon, they promised fries! Which was a big deal when you were broke like Fagget. Even some new concoction they made that they made out of kernels. And they even added in some salt because they said it would make it taste better. They had taken quite a while to figure out what it would do and how to active this very thing. Until someone accidently dropped a kernel in the firewood, no one noticed until popping noises were made. They all turned around to find a weird shape of white jumping around in the fire, their first pop kernel ever made. Although it was a little gross since it had nothing else but the kernel, but soon enough they discovered amazing ingredients to put on the pop kernels. That made them turn into the most demanded snack in all of her village, in all of her village and even beyond. People miles away from their village love eating popcorn a lot, especially when they are watching movies. Watching movies and popcorn was so original and it always just felt right. But to this village it was a new "concoction" they made up, although it was discovered long before. And it is considered a luxury snack and goes up extremely high in prices. For one pack of popcorn, which is approximately fifty-five popcorns, was a whole whopping thirty bucks. And only for fifty-five popcorns, which is a very outrageous price, but to them it was the hottest luxury item. They thought the price was fair and square, but it wasn't, and some people like Fagget had a hunch about that. Although she never visited the outside, for they had all been taught the young that the land out there is only filled with creatures that will kill you. They told the children that they were the only humans left on earth, surprisingly enough, even the adults telling the children about this believed it with all their heart. Fagget of course just had her own beliefs and didn't trust anyone but herself. But she did know one thing, it was that the prices for everything here were simply too outrageous! Their very small uncomfortable tipi, cost her parents seventy thousand dollars! No wonder they had such a dang small house, it was far too expensive. A house like there's is only worth three hundred max. And as Fagget sat on the terrible carpet, a thought crossed her mind, she would go to that witch. The with that actually exists, not Malon's imaginations.
