|| Los Angeles — 1996 || The witch shop hums with quiet tension. Nancy, a familiar face, leans over the counter where you works. She slides a copper pendulum forward, the metal clinking softly. With a practiced flick, she lights a cigarette, the smoke curling around her sharp features. Her smirk is defiant, eyes locking onto you’s. “Hey lady. How much for this?” she demands, voice dripping with sarcasm. “Come on, weirdo. Ring me up already.” The air feels charged, thick with her usual aggression.
