Woah. Intensely creepy soothsayer-masseuse thing. You manage to cohere the general absurdness of the quotes into a solid plot progression by making them contextual to the story. I enjoy the implications of his wife making the recommendation, as well as the protagonist assuming the hag is a reporter. Also, your use of descriptive words is very well handled, making the “onion” line virtually disappear into the text (in a good way).
I do think there is a confusing gap between para.2 and para.3. Is his question utterly ignored by the hag? Am I missing some implication? I don’t really know.
Anyways, great handling. Well done.

@Memento. I tried to transition from the 3rd to the 4th by beginning the 4th with Next.

So I think the issue is with how the 3rd ends, I’ll try to think of a different way to end it, staying within my character limit of course.

If anyone reading this is old enough, you may be familiar with my inspiration. If not:
