Ashes To Ashes And Cinder To Cinder - Plot & Excerpts
The remains of the dead witch’s skeleton were found in a small town near Venice in Italy. To inspect it, I had to fool my teachers in California and tell them that my German grandma died and that I had to fly overseas to attend her funeral. No one even asked me to have my parents call the school to confirm my claim. When you are a descendant of the Brothers Grimm, every body treats you like a modern day Cinderella. Ironically, I was flying over to Venice to find the real Cinderella. The one everybody accidentally killed when they believed that she was a fairy tale character and didn’t exist. It didn’t take me much time to travel from Germany to Venice, and I was so curious to see the corpse: an 800-year-old Italian witch found by archeologists with seven nails driven to her jaw. Gruesome stuff. My perfect taste. “Why seven nails?” I asked Bella, the Italian archeologist’s assistance while standing over the grave in broad daylight. Bella was about twenty-four years old, seven years older than I was.
