Hansel and Gretel: The Cursed, The Hunted, The Killed

The gnarled branches hid the trail,

None must find their way back to Dale,

The witches will find their guest or fail,

But evil was never one to prevail.

Come! Let's play a game! They cry,

Too bad that was never enough to satisfy,

Children can run and hide,

But the forest must abide to the witches tie,

In the end they are left as bones,

Followed by their family's mourning tones...
