i was on a bike ride that ended at a sewage treatment facility which was a popular scenic overlook; the route was mostly through strip malls and other unpleasant things and the berm was dirt and people kept walking out in front of me. on the way back, we stopped at a house that looked like a thai spirit house but felt very modern - glass paneling and accent lighting - but also featured a garden with dense foliage, totally blocking out the sun and looking like a rainforest. In the garden and through the house there were a multitude of paths, some were holy and others profane and there was a young queen being held there against her will by a witch. the queen couldn't walk on profane walkways and the witch had made breaks in them to prevent her escape (apparently these pathways needed to be covered in dung), so the people i was with burned the witch in the foyer (which was a pond) and spread her ashes over breaks in the path so the queen could leave.
while this was happening i was prepping to cook, walking back and forth through the foyer so i could get supplies out of the pantry and i was like "uh, guys, how long is it gonna take the witch to burn? do i have time to cook or should i just take this stuff with me?"
