Witches

Unfortunately, just soon after his seventh birthday, they were heading up to Norway and their car skidded off the road and came tumbling down into a rocky ravine, both his mum and dad died in this tragic accident and strangely the boy only got away with a minor cut in his forehead! After that it was arranged that he had to live with his grandmother in Norway.

The grandmother trying to help the boy forget his tragic lost decided to tell him stories. She told him all kind of stories, bu

. . .
The boy’s grandmother said that they wore long gloves to cover their disgusting hands, their fingernails were long and curvy just like a cat. The next morning they couldn’t find their daughter anywhere, it was like she had vanished into thin air, but in the end they found her, they found her in the painting! She was feeding the ducks, everyday she would be in a different position!

But what was more weird, was the fact that the older the painting got so did their daughter it was as if she was getting older and older, transforming from a girl into a woman. When the man left the boy asked his grandmother what had happened, she replied “ That man who was just here, was reading out your fathers will, on the will your father wished that we must go back to England and stay at your old house. Their noses were slightly larger than ordinary people, the reason for their big nose holes was to smell out children. The witches were also bald, they had to wear fake wigs but the wigs were so realistic that it was really difficult to spot if it was a wig or not, that’s just not it they had different noses. That was just one of the stories, although they had all had one thing in common, after each disappearance of the child there was a tall woman seen!!

Anyway, as each day passed his grandmother told him more stories about these witches. Anyway one day their daughter came home eating an apple, she said that a nice lady had given it to her. The boy was woried one night and asked his grandmother about

. According to his grandmother, they could smell children from a whole mile away! Now the boy knew he had to suspect every woman that had fallen in one of those categories. The painting showed some ducks in the yard outside a farmhouse, there were no humans painted. She told him which part of the world had the wicked witches, she also told him how to recognise a witch. In one of these stories this one really fascinated me…there was a family called Christiansen, the lived up on Holmenkollen and they had a really old oil painting in the living room which they were very proud of. It was a rather large painting and really pretty.

So it was settled, in a matter of days the boy had to go back to school, in a few days the first term would start. Then one day she just disappeared, her parents couldn’t find her in the painting anymore.
