BABA YAGA:
Baby Yaga lay in her crib listening to the deep voices of men and the snufflings of dogs on her rooftop.  The one room cottage was dark with only one strong, dust-moted beam of light shining through the arched window in the door.  She was warm enough since her Muma Pădurii had wrapped her tightly in a red, white and yellow wool blanket shortly before she left to go to the market.  It scratched her chin and smelled of creosote and onions but it also smelled of Muma. 

Then again, Baba Yaga lay in her bed, two hundred years after the great snowstorm, wrapped tightly in a wool blanket that smelled of chicken soup and garlic.   Her bones ached and she wondered how it could be that this ancient body could be the same body that she had been born with.  She remembered the looseness of her limbs as they pushed against the swaddling blanket, the fullness of hair and lips, and the delight her eyes took in the shadows that outlined the room.  With a dry crackling sound, she shifted on her cot, scaring the mice that lived in the old bed straw.  One hundred years ago today...
