Hansel and Gretel: First Impressions

Prologue

18 years ago, we were born.

Oh, c'mon, Hansel, you can do better than that!

...

Alright, fine, I'll do it then.18 years ago, our mother gave birth to us. On a plane. Flying in from England. I was born first, therefore I am more mature. Oh, sure.I know, I am sure. Anyway, technically, Hansel and I were born in separate countries; me in the U.K. and him in the U.S. It's a very strange prospect, but we deal.I am exactly 3,901 miles older than him.Our parents later abandoned us to fend for ourselves, so we ran to our next closest relative; Grandpa Henry. He took us in, but only on the account that he got child support paid by the Children Affairs unit in the town that he lived.

So, that's what our life was like before it got interesting. And this, dear readers, is the story of how our life began.
