The Edible Women

14

Clement's house was surrounded by villagers the next morning.

They were a group of people who either had cancer or had family members who had cancer. They would suffer another day if they couldn't eat my flesh.

I knew that all too well.

Once they found out that Clement wanted to monopolize me, their anger was lit ablaze.

"Are you trying to monopolize the medi-woman?"

"Clement! You can't be shameless like that!"

"She belongs to our village!"

"That's right."

"Does our life not matter as much as your son's marriage?"

"Clement, you must give us an explanation!"

The crowd was shouting one after another, and their emotions were getting more agitated.

Clement stood on the balcony. He tried to calm everyone down, but it was to no avail. The angry crowd had already been engulfed by their emotions, and no one could listen to what he had to say.

What sustainable plan could make everyone happy?
