Flash Fiction: Blender Magic

The island became plagued with the flu. Jude, being the local doctor, heard all the moans and groans. None worse than her husband. She whipped out her blade, and chopping away, made a batch of medicine with blender magic.
“Just kill me…”

Coen took the liquid drug from her hand and threw it down his throat. He screwed up his nose.
“Damn.”
In hours he felt better, bouncing off the walls. Jude felt like crap.
“Let me get you some medicine.”
Her mouth twitched, and she shook her head.
“I just need to rest.”
Her concoction of oranges, onions, and cabbage was 100% placebo.
