    Gretel bounces in and out of substance abuse treatment centers for a while and is eventually eaten by a witch.

Except then she wakes up to realize she wasn't actually eaten by a witch; she was human trafficked to Las Vegas where she's been so high on heroin that she hasn't realized she's been getting assaulted nightly for months. She then goes to the local Wal-Mart to buy a no waiting period shotgun on sale for $199.99 to end the suffering.

Oh yes, nice twist. Very poignant.
