The Bewitching

“Fear is a hungry thing.”

The way people treated Tabitha in that village was so cruel. Small towns can turn into monsters when they find someone they can't control.

“I am not what you made me.”

Tabitha didn't choose her power. She just wanted to survive while everyone else wanted to use her or burn her.

It made me think about how we label women as witches just because they aren't quiet. Silence is the only thing that keeps them safe there.

“The earth remembers every drop.”

The magic felt grounded in the dirt and the blood. It wasn't sparkly or clean. It felt like a heavy weight she had to carry.
