A witch in the twin city
She told me that she wished she could pop her head off at night and put it back on in the morning so that she wouldnt' have to brush her hair. I wish she hadn't said that because her normal-looking head did not match her contorted body, which looked like a twisted oak tree. I've been having nightmares about it.
She's about 500 years old and she's what other professors call a "legend" because she founded a new theory and wrote a dozen books about it she is regarded as a very powerful woman.
She also has some kind of disease that makes your body twist and knot up to the point where you are deformed and things don't work properly. She has had this deformity/disease since she was 19 and has been conformed to a wheelchair ever since. However, her disability has not limited her success and hoes and socks on in the morning and take them off at night. I was honored to help.
My assignment at the conference was to help her put her shoes and socks and to push her around in a wheel chair. However, it turned out that she required full-time care from the time she woke up in the morning until when she went to bed at night. I had to do a lot of things that a nurse is supposed to do even though I'm just a student and I missed the conference entirely.
More importantly though, I learned that I do not want to be *her*. She was the ghost of Christmas Future. She told me that she had dedicated her life to her career. Everyone pretended to like her because she's "successful", wealthy, and "important." Behind her back, they all hate her. We didn't talk about her family. I dont' think she has one. She even paid me to keep her company during breakfast because non of her colleagues/friends wanted to spend time with her.
A student that she had 25 years ago ran up to her and kissed her head and they talked happily for 45 minutes. The same student later told me that she considered the woman a selfish old witch for the things she had done to others to reach her position.
