Sally was walking home from work when she came upon a strange store. She went in, curious as to what it would sell. There was a man sleeping on the counter. He looked around 60 with a definite Asian heritage. Sally shook him gently and tried to get him to wake up. With a jolt he stirred but immediately calmed down when he saw Sally.
"Oh, I'm sorry, you scared me is all" he said with a definite accent.
"Sorry, it's just I saw your store and was curious as to what you sell." She replied to him.
"Well my dear we sell a collection of salves and ointments each with a magical property."
"Right" Sally was sceptical but went along with it anyway.
"Would you like to buy any I'm sure you'll find at least one that's useful."
"Well, what do you have?" She asked.
"I can show you" he replied eagerly.
The man ended up going through each cream, salve or ointment in great detail. And even though Sally was sceptical there were a few that peeked her interest. When he had finished he asked if she would like to buy any. Sally ended up buying an age regression cream, an expansion ointment, a salve that changed a persons gender and a cream that allowed a person to lactate.
When Sally got home it was five o'clock, she was nearly an hour late. Only her nephew was home though so it made no matter.
Sally had adopted Sam when his mother, her sister, died in a car accident 3 months ago. Unable to have children of her own Sally treated Sam as if he was her own son. But recently Sam hadn't been behaving properly. Staying out late, driving drunk and worst of all lying to her. She decided something had to change.
