Sounds from the Shadows

On the first day of Christmas my true-love sent to me, a partridge in a pear tree. Well, there are no partridges in this story, but it does start with a pear tree. On this the first day of Christmas Emily brings you the story of 'The Girl With No Hands'. CW FOR LITTLE EARS, (or the parents of) violence at the start, involvement of the Devil, but a happy ending.
