SAPPHIC PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR GORE CANNIBALISM
What if the gingerbread house didn’t trap you? What if you begged to be devoured?
Since I followed the breadcrumbs, I’ve given myself to the sweetness that bites back. To the sugar melting on my tongue, to the smoke coiling in my lungs. To her; her teeth, her voice, her love.
Out here, the world punishes me. The job. The lights. The lies. I can’t breathe. I don’t want to.
But she’s waiting for me inside that sugar paradise.
I’ll follow the powdered trail again.
I’ll prove I belong.
Even if I become the feast.

ABOUT
Sugarlung is a sapphic psychological horror short story written by Venezuelan author Beatrice Lebrun.
A dark reimagining of Hansel and Gretel. It describes the slow-burn descent of a neurodivergent girl who stumbles into a sugar-coated hell that promises escape from the real world.
It’s a story of devotion turned delusion, hedonism as a coping mechanism, and a love so toxic it tastes like burning candy on the way down.
