Gretel's Tale




I cradle your head in my lap. Youre' quite dead now, brother. I grieve now. I brush the crumbs of gingerbread I'd eaten off your face and cry. I only ever wanted you for myself my darling. That is why I kept you in the cage long after she died.

  3. It made more sense after I read the title. Maybe I should be doing that first?

  4. Hehe yes it is always taken into consideration that one would start to read 'at the top' and read the title. :)

  6. does the title count as free words?

    ... it adds quite a bit to the story to know the girls name.

  7. I have never counted the title words in my stories, but I title them all.

    Some people don't title their stories or pictures, but I always do. It is distinct from it.
