The Witch and Gretel - Chapter 2
Chapter 2
The little face of the child was reflected in the bright moonlight. Although slightly swollen, the almond-shaped eyes were still large, and the nose was quite high as a child. Katarina had never seen children of her age carefully, but she could tell that she was especially pretty. Suddenly, I thought about how this child would change when he grew up and how I might miss him.
Katarina fell asleep thinking all the way there. I drove for a total of four hours a day, and I was quite tired because I was plagued by strange people.
Almost as soon as the child lay down, he stared at the face of Katarina, who was asleep. She was the first person to talk to him. His hair was the same color as the darkness that bothered him all the time in the basement, and his eyes were deeper than the pit that fell endlessly in his dreams. He was scared that he would be sucked in if he were looked into the eyes. But it was the only thing he could have.
The child’s eyes just looked at Katarina all night.
