Thank you so much Stubborn!  I know that is not your real name and you've guessed it, nancyarcher is not mine.  It's the name of the fifty foot woman in that old and ancient piece of sci-fi from the fifties.  Maybe I should change my description?  The story is inspired by Hansel and Gretle but I've changed the names to protect the innocent.  Ansel is the intended name for that character, it come from the famous photographer Ansel Adams.  Sorry about the confusion.  If you haven't figured it out yet, my characters don't run into the witch in the gingerbread house but something extraordinary did happen when they got lost.  Keep in mind they've been lost for ten years and so both the kids are now adults in a world that was once gigantic to them.  It'll be explained in due time.  I appreciate the reviews and I'm not sure when I'll have the next chappie ready but I'll have it up as soon as I can.  I do write fanfic for another site so I write these whenever I get time.  Again, thank you!!!
