Excellent fairy tale.... That unfortunately is absolutely true.
Thanks for posting.
“it was a version of the vapor the witches hadn’t planned for“
But the witches didn’t need to plan for it. The rulers and the town criers lied to the townspeople that this version was different. So they could scare the townspeople, who will blame the anti-drinkers even more.
