"once, a long long time ago
in a remote village hidden away in the yellow wheat fields of zealand.
was a small house made of second hand bricks and timber.
In the house lived a small family,
Mother Cremhilda, a strict lady who knew not one reasonable punishment for bad behaviour, only methods consisting of bare bum cheeks forced onto cold surfaces.
And father Gerløg, whose lifeless body mother Cremhilda embalmed and displayed in the living room as a special and cherished piece of furniture.
Together before the accident they had two twin daughters,
Maja and Marlena, who both yearned to ramble."
“mother who is she”
mother says “she who lives deep in the jutland forest, she who steals, she who lies and seduces our men with long bosoms"
“is she a nice lady mother” says the children
“we should pick her a bouquet of wildflowers, so she might like us”
“maybe she will be our new mother”
“mother wouldn't approve”
“mother is not here with us marlena”
“Do you think she is evil, a ghost, a spooky woman?”
“i think she is beautiful”
“do you think she killed father”
“mother did"
“You piece of shit went against my word, you brought sin to our family home, you killed father, you killed mother, you killed the goodness in this family, lured by her trap, by her bosoms, by her pitiful wrongful beauty. you don't love me children you never even liked me, you want me to die like your father did and you want me to suffer”
