The children gazed raptly upon their mother, whom they adored. She told them they were going on an adventure, and there wouldn’t be time to change from their nightgowns. They were very weak and hardly could walk; but their mother had poached some eggs for them to eat as they set out. The younger sister didn’t partake because she didn’t like how eggs wiggled. “We’re out here looking for fairy-tale monsters,” the mother said to the girls as they walked on the pine needles. She was drunk.
“We like our ogres and witches,” the girls said, holding her hands, one girl clinging hungrily to each side of her kind body.
