Airborne

She is never sick. No colds, no stomach aches, no rotten teeth, not even a headache. For years she'd lived without insurance, but even after she was forced into buying a policy by the pervasive care of her employer, she never went to a single doctor. Oh, yes, once she went to the dentist to get her teeth cleaned. The dentist was impressed: there was no sign of plaque on her molars whatsoever. It was as if she possessed some kind of a superpower. Which she did, brushing her teeth three times a day or after every meal. But also she was a witch and knew how to fly.
