Part I
As a child she didn’t understand why everything she touched died. Some died immediately and others took years, but death always came. Grass she trod upon withered over time. Small plants she brushed against died. Larger trees died at her touch, too, but not all of them. Some survived and became large and deformed. These had a tendency to stretch out their branches above their cottage.
