Still noodling on this one, I'm not sure what it's going to turn into just yet...
It was the hottest driest summer in living memory when Margie Colton was hexed and murdered in her bed, choked on a witch ball.
She was a small skinny woman all her life and only got smaller and skinnier as she aged, so she was practically a mummy when the mailman found her, dead for days, dried and rattling like a honey locust seed pod.
It shouldn’t ought to have caused much stir. Old folks die up in the hollers all the time, unremarked and unmourned. But when the undertaker came to collect Margie’s mortal remains, he found a witch ball made of mud and beeswax and horsehair jammed up in her toothless mouth.
It was a well-known and undisputed fact that witches lived among the God-fearing folk of the hollers, and were responsible for all manner of blessings and curses.
A witch, properly flattered and paid, might be convinced to trade a service. She might be willing to share a poultice that’ll heal a stubborn wound. She might mark a spot to sink a well that will give clean water. If asked kindly, she might whisper a secret in a man’s ear that’ll make his wife scream in delight every evening.
On th’other hand, if a farmer scorns a witch asking for a cup of cool water on a hot day, she might hex their cow and make it to give down bloody milk. If a man should trespass on a witch’s land, steal from her peach tree or her collard patch, and she might curse his cock to limpness. Or she might turn him into a horse and ride him around at night.
To draw the ire of a witch so strong that she would kill you dead with a witch ball… old Margie Colton must’ve done something powerful insulting.
