Fractured Fairy Tale ~ Hansel and Gretel
Once upon time there lived a witch, she wasn’t the prettiest or the smartest but
she was the nicest person you can meet. She loved life and enjoyed everything the earth had to
offer. However, there was one thing missing from her life. She wished to have a husband she can
love and can love her back. She wished to be married and have children of her own, she wanted
to have a family; so she wouldn’t be so lonely during the day. One day as she was cleaning her
house she started to think “maybe it is the type of lifestyle I live, maybe I need a new setting”.
Her thoughts became actions and she packed up her belongings and moved deep within the
woods.
“What is one thing children seem to love?”, “I got it “, she worked for weeks at
a time. From dawn to dust she worked and worked until she finally was able to finish. There was
door, walls, even the roof made from grand-crackers. M&M door knops, curtains were made
from sour straws, showers were filled with sugar. Every child’s dream home. The little old witch
was quite proud of herself for accomplishing her goal. From her little candy house, she can see
the castle where a king and greedy queen rained. One day as the witch was fixing her garden she
overheard two people arguing. As she got closer she realized it was king and queen arguing
about their children. The queen had explained the children were bratty and annoying and they did
not deserve to be a part of the royal family and one-day rule. The king explained he would do
anything to make his wife happy. The witch could not believe, “How can they not want their
children?”. The very next day she heard the voice of a young girl and a teenage boy playing. She
