Fiction: The Helper Witch
Lucia was emancipated from her parents, husband, siblings, friends and yet, her life was not idyll nor peaceful. Doing everything herself was something she had never done before but she was willing. When she brought the broken down house, she had hoped to turn it into a bed and breakfast to maybe make a living and restart her life without everybody interfering. About a year into the renovation, she broke her leg and all her plans went kaput.
That fateful night, Lucia was just tidying up the livingroom after the workers had finished for the day when one of the scaffolds collapsed on her. It took four painful minutes before she mustered the will to call which ended in a shouting match with one surly building contractor before she was taken to the hospital.
