The driver took the highwayman’s meaning and slowed. “You don’t know. You don’t know…”
“What’s that?” the rider asked. More men came from behind. He peeked into the carriage.

At first snowfall, young Pestil took wreaths to her neighbors. Last was old Mr. Wormwood.
He answered, smiled thanks, and ignored her questions of strange smells and hisses. Then shut the door.
And Pestil tried not to think about the severed blue hand she’d seen reaching up from his alchemy table.

Bottled death. Easy and cheap.
This would be the end of it. War would never be the same.
