Challenge
Challenge of the Week LXXVIII
The element of surprise. Write a story or poem with a surprising ending.
Twist in the tale
Once upon a time...
In a land far far away.
A Boy met a girl
and the boy
fell in love.
But the girl...
didn't give
a fuck.
She
was doing
her
own thing.
Saving dragons.
Making friends with bumbling bears; the
victims
Of a home invasion.
Rescuing hapless bachelors.
From tyrannical fathers who kept them
locked
Chaste
In tall
towers
Pointing
hard
into to the sky.
Or stopping wandering royalty who try to
Kiss teenage girls
As they lay asleep.
But this girl.
She's not real.
Just a fantasy too.
Just like all the other fairy tale princesses.
It's just what the boys dream about
Today
Is different.
