I sell handmade fortune cookies in the park. Each one costs $10,000, yet every day, people fight to buy them. That’s because what I sell are fertility fortune cookies. Eat one, and you can get pregnant instantly. You can even choose what kind of child you want. Slip in a double-yolk charm, and you’ll have twins. Seal in a perfect test paper, and your child will be a genius. A spayed female dog ate one and ended up pregnant with six puppies.

I turn no one away. Even animals, if they so much as make a sound, I’ll feed them.

I only took one look at her, then staggered back in terror. "I can’t sell to you. Leave. Now."
