How witches laugh

Those sounds that witches make are known to tear this world apart.

Their voices cook the blood. Their little noises make skin shudder and freeze while burning.
You want some more? Just touch the scar behind her ear, or the mark there on her thigh.
A witch might even purr just like her cat, just give it a try.
A witches‘ voice will make you give in to all those dreams of impossible things their witching eyes might have given you.

Witches laugh to break the rules, and to feel impossble things once more.

But most importantly, when witches laugh, there has been pain.
When witches laugh, there has been pain and loss that had to be survived and breathed away.

Witches laugh to still be here in this world, when loss and pain have been, and to see whatever may come afterwards.

„Does that mean a witch laughing is never honest?“, I ask Layla.
„It is, if you know what it means“, she says.
