Things Seen

[bunn]

An older woman, her face surrounded by a dramatic grey curly bush of wild hair, wearing a smart dark red velvet trouser suit with a tailored jacket,  stomping enthusiastically on top of a fiercely-smoking bonfire.

I hope she's not going to have to try to get the smoke out of the velvet later.   But it was such an odd thing to wear for the task, I am guessing there is some special significance to it.  Perhaps she will take off the velvet suit, once all the other things are burned, and ritually burn that too.

I should have looked at her feet! But she was some distance away, and she stared fiercely at me when she caught me looking, so I looked hastily away and went on. The bonfire was smoking rather than flaming, so I would guess that robust boots would be sufficient protection as long as she didnt' stand still too long.
