A Fist Full of Charms

The old witch makes you the same offer as always: a fist full of charms for a piece of your soul and just this once you consider going along with it. After all, it’s not like you haven’t done similar deals before and what’s a piece of something you’ve got so little use for anyway?

Well, there’s the fact that you’ve just taken on a new contract; one with a client that was more than willing to pay your fee and has enough power behind them to make your life…difficult if you don’t come through.

So you smile, and it’s part woeful and part bemused, point your gun at her head and pull the trigger.
