Short 40: Overproduction

A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. A gothic sorceress enters a small magic shop, approaching the counter. The gothic sorceress explains her problem to the old seller. She shows her wand with a stone broken on it. Old Seller: Welcome! How can I help you? Gothic Sorceress: My magic stone is defective, I need a new one.

Panel 2. The old seller put a gem stone on the counter, the gothic sorceress is in shock. Old Seller: Alright, that'll be 600 gold coins. Gothic Sorceress: What?! It used to be 40!

Panel 3. The gothic sorceress thinks, the old man explains the price increase and a wider view angle show the shop full of Avian Intelligence Parrot. Old Seller: That's because of Avian Intelligence: we need these stones to make them.

Panel 4. The gothic sorceress tries to understand. The old man gives up; the angle is even wider showing more of AI Parrots, a huge pile of them. Gothic Sorceress: And you're going to sell all of these? Old Seller: What do you think...
