A Good Doll's Minty Balm - 298 words, ~3:00 duration

——

And that small witch would roam, looking for plant mass to apply to a darling doll. Along a winding path, this witch did plod until, at last, a vacant woodland gap would show our witch a distinct conspicuous shoot—a mark of ambition. Pulling out good, totally apt scissors, this woman clad in a big hat cut off a small sum of fronds in a mint color, and naturally, it would find sanctuary in a small glass jar.

Our witch had not lost thought of that doll this was all for. Following a short span, an anxious woman in that familiar doorway said soothingly, "My doll, I brought a plant that may calm your warm and clammy skull."

This tiny doll's vision was drawn to its witch, and it would find comfort in that sight. Its witch stood at a bar, mixing a balm, hoping it would work. A handful of fronds, a splash of oils, and a profoundly aromatic root ground up in a mortar for a solitary good doll.

"Will that lotion work on this doll? It has a funny aroma to it." said our witch's focus on curing.

"I think so, my calm and forgiving girlthing. That odor is nothing at all to worry about."

Amassing it into a vial, its witch brought a full jar containing a solution to its pain. Dipping a thumb into it, its witch starting an incantation, its dollskin had a coat of calming balm put onto it. Within a short duration, it finally did find its pain to allay fully. Our dollthing's hair had a light puff of air touch it, shifting lightly as its witch's sigh burst out, noticing a shift in disposition.

"Was this doll good?" it said quizzically.

"Without a doubt. My doll can do no wrong."
