The Emptiness of Letting Go

Bear: [Scared] Nikki, what are you doing?

Nikki: [Emerges from kitchen brandishing a knife, stoic and monotone] Well, if I have the bed all to myself tonight, I'll lay there warm. Until slowly, I feel cold, like I walked into a freezer. My hands will feel like they're full of sand, like when you lay on them wrong. And that feeling will slowly spread across my entire body. You're still in my heart, but you're slipping. Any thought of pain or regret will slip away like a chemical switch. Even though it's quiet in the room, somehow, it gets even quieter.

Nikki: It's not painful. You just let go, everything you once were, and then there's nothing. It's not darkness, no, sweetie. Darkness is a color. There's just... nothing.

Nikki: Or you can stay!

Complex Family Bonds and Forbidden Desires

Nikki Freeman: [to the party, telling her version of Hansel and Gretel] The air was charged by the distant call of the night bird. His face was obscured, but I knew he was looking at my chest, each side stretching, recently matured to different sizes. "Hansel, come lay with me like the old woman taught us when we were children," I said. He closed the door and leaned against it. "You're not my wife, Gretel," he said. "I'm more than your wife. I'm your sister!" Hansel flinched and reached for the door handle. I knew he would not leave this place. He would relent and choose to be inside me, like he had many nights before. If not, I would flay his meaty forearm, roll it like a stick of licorice, and insert the flesh between my legs. Hansel is my soul. A love only the branch of a willow tree could conjure. Brother, you will be inside me tonight.
