Hansel in the Shadows- An E-Chapbook
1A witch's shadow hands reached for the Hansel boy. He did not like the scratching fingernails. The palms were rubbery. Twice, he bit the thumb's base. The witch shrieked and shook her arms around. Hansel fell into a stew pot. That is where you should have been before, the witch said. She stirred the pot with a prosthetic arm. Hansel's skin burned. Outside the window, he could see his flinching sister. She would not save him, not after what he had
done to her at night.
2
The children stayed in a tree trunk until the witch had passed. You remind me of our mother, whom I love, the boy said. The girl picked at the skin peeling off her wrists. When you stare at me, I think of father and the face he makes when I bathe, the girl said. The boy unbuckled his pants while she asked,Why do you all act like wolves? Because we are men, Hansel said. He groped the sister. Her skin touched the surrounding wood and burned. The witch sniffed the branches. I can smell your incest, she said and seasoned them with large salt grains.
3
Hansel's parents didn't know what was happening in his sister's bedroom. Yes, the brother disappeared inside for some time. Yes, there were strange thumping sounds. But the parents lacked time to think anything of it. They had roasts to carve. There were walls to rebuild. Of course they didn't think the children would be engaging in an incestuous act. Not when the boy knew that the sin would lead to the witch's pot. At night, the girl armed herself with a fork and knife for when Hansel sneaked in. She always tried to stab his shoulders but missed. He timed his humping to the parents' obscenities.
4
The grabbing hands came through bedroom windows and yanked the girl's braids. Her scalp came off on the ends. The boy kept his hands tight over his erection. You cannot kill me, he said, running away. The hands scooped him up. The nails pushed through his buttocks until he screamed. Anal retentiveness can, the hands said. The girl crawled beneath her bed. She bent back until she could press the soles of her feet against the blood-topped head. The witch pulled the boy apart. She gulped him down and patted the girl's twisted spine comfortingly.
5
The witch defecated in a pot. The boy had sneaked into her bedroom while she was comatose. He fed her three bottles of liquid laxative. Now, watered-down fecal matter flowed out of her anus. She tried to plug her rectum with a small child's severed hand but the flesh absorbed the fluid. The skin's pigmentation was a browned forest green. The witch stretched for the cutting board. She grabbed her favorite knife. A length of spinal cord was stuck to the tip. Flinging the vertebrae whip away, the witch hacked at her colon. The falling pieces looked like the boy's face and she crushed them with her missing bones.
6
Gretel visited the witch dripping wet. The witch knew brotherly semen from anywhere. She held the girl over an open fire until the sperm flaked off. It looks like snow, the girl marveled. She poked at the drifting pieces. The witch swept them up and placed three handfuls into a pot. It calls for the addition of a fraternal source, the witch said. Gretel went outside and called to Hansel. He was hiding in a tree, looking at pornography magazines. She rapped on his genitals and he came running. Gretel pushed him right into the cauldron and drank several bowls without seasoning.
7
The witch touched the children and they fell apart. This was long before the boy tortured the girl sexually. This was when they were still in cloth diapers and had just enough fat to be used in place of bacon. The witch craved fried parsley root. She wanted fat from a child, not from a bottle. So she tore the children apart. Each piece was rendered separately. The limbs were best for dieting. The thighs were ideal for comfort food. Sometimes, when the children's pulled faces turned into the bottom of the pan, they whimpered loudly. It added just the right amount of sugar to the dish.
8
Hansel could only stay in the shadows for so long. The penumbras were colder than he expected. The parents had told him to bring a fire on the end of his ax but he didn't listen. His sister hid inside his pants. She kept shivering. She did this to any man because her flesh was always textured with goose pimples. I do not stand for this display, the witch shouted from behind a candy cane door. She struck both siblings in the face. Gretel tumbled down a bone path, leaving Hansel behind. He rubbed his abdomen and tried to thrust at the witch. She severed the penis and made a rich sausage porridge.
9
We can begin again, the witch said, wringing her hands. She tried to tuck the children into bed but they kept kicking. Hansel bit her breasts as she pulled down her shirt to nurse. I am being a good mother, she screamed. The children could smell the soup pot she stored beneath her bed. It boiled and made the mattress hot. They lay down and the heated springs branded their backs. We would not like a lifetime as your offspring, Hansel said. Gretel sewed her hair into the comforter. The blond ringlets made a spiral border. I love you, the witch said and forced poison serum onto their tongues.
10
They tried to kill the witch. They did this slowly. Hansel made his way into her bed and touched her in the bad places. Gretel dressed up as a wolf and pranced past a woodcutter. She wanted him to split her sides open. Crystal sugar would spill out and color the ground. Hansel thought he would never taste his sister again. He caught her walking in and out of the dark. Her body was half on and half off. She clutched the wolf tail between her teeth. We should have never come, she said and faded.

Produced from classic black wealthy leather-based material in subtle wrinkled finish, it shows that this Marc by Marc Jacobs Excellent Tavi Piercing Shoulder http://www.watcheslux.com/raym...tches.html
Gear indeed appears to be like informal. It couldve actually been just yet another plain black gear around if not for the very flap, which is created with pleated detailing. The exact pleats are cinched on the very middle with bold silver studs, so it sort of appears like a bow design, which then creates a hint of feminine drama to it.
