Witch Craft: The Tale of Giacomo

Ch. 3

It was strange how one could live a large portion of their life in a single place and never come to know that place in its entirety. In part because one never had a reason to, but also in part because there were some places less welcoming than others.

Giacomo had never been to the magisterial building, because to reach it would mean going through parts of the city that were he spotted by a constable or guard, he would be immediately deemed a beggar and chased away. But not today, as he rode in a hackney next to Alastair, and dressed… not in finery, with the jacket too large and frayed and the shoes rather clunky and worn… but far more presentable than were he in only his usual clothes.
