The Market
There was once a thief at a market, who took as much as he could, from whoever he could. One day, the thief saw a beautiful charm. Thick bands of leather woven together holding 3 jewels, sparkling in the sun. One amber, one green, and one blue. It sat on an old stall made of splintered wood. An elderly woman sat on a crooked stool behind it overseeing the sale of her wares. The thief saw her hand reach for some gold coin being passed over in exchange for a crow feather charm. He briefly wondered how hands as stiff and disjointed as hers could possibly create such delicate and fetching items.

Brightly yellow and lethal. Are they ridiculing us? The decaying, delicious odor of death is still trapped in my nose. We are locked here, and people are losing their minds.’
