“Witch! “Witch!” he yelled. I ran from the man with the torch like there was no tomorrow. He managed to trip my leg. I fell down into the dirt. I looked up at my attacker. He was possessed with rage. I grabbed a heavy branch next to me and swung it at his head. He didn’t flinch. Sweating and losing my breath, I looked around for help, but there was no one. He brought the torch down towards my face. I extinguished the flames by pointing at it. He stood there, powerless and shocked. Good thing I am a witch.”

“Beware Social anxiety. It’s real. I’m a knowledgeable, educated, and talented individual. But you wouldn’t know it if you talked to me. I’ll stutter. I’ll choke on my spit. I’ll sound like an idiot, and you’ll treat me as such. Before I respond to any question you ask, I will dwell on just how much and how long you will chastise me. One day, I will sweat and stumble too much. You will notice and judge. You will push me to the edge of my already unstable sanity. At that point, I will not hold myself responsible for what happens.”
