the marshmallow girl

Marshmallow girl was sent to the gallows, punishment for having been born into a sweet life in a world of strife. But she grew indignant, bitter, and was promptly allowed to live. She married the executioner, had a batch of marshmallow kids in the lusterless marriage, and decided to roast them alive.

‘Let their sweetness not be wasted,’ thought she tearfully. ‘Let their lives have meaning, not as I gave up mine. Let them die, or live a death such as I.’

All candy is born to die, and marshmallow girl had foolishly missed her turn.
