A confession - The bear with the biscuit face

The bear with the biscuit face is written with automatism and I didn't know what the story was going to be like until it was written.

I wanted to write a story about a bear with the biscuit face, an image that occured to me. SO I put down the working title of "the bear with the biscuit face". The biscuit part linked me to the hansel and gretel story of the biscuit house, so I researched a bit on the witch who tried to eat them, thus Frau Totenkinder was referenced to. I decided to start with Frau.

To confess, I dunno where the rest of the story came from... (perhaps from the back stories of hansel and gretel...?) and I think this is the scariest story that I've ever written. And it scares myself.

My bear was a big black bear with a huge ritz kinda biscuit instead of a face. What was the bear like in your imagination?

Which was the biscuit in your first impression? oreo or famous amos? Man, the macademia nuts would look like tumours man.

HAHAHA... i like to eat macademia but it would be the last thing in my mind to appear if we talk about the Bear... Actually i think my first impression is a 'fusion' of gingerbread man and teddy bear... Huh huh..
