"How big's your kingdom, then?"

He spun around and met the eyes of a wizened hag who had appeared beside him.

"I uh... Got a little shack, a garden where I plant my veg. Ain't much."

"Hmm. I'll take it." The crone held out a leathery hand.

He shook it, uncertainly. The hag vanished in a cloud of dust, just as a sturdy cart horse pulling a wooden wagon trundled up the path.
