STORY STARTER

Submitted by chiyo | チヨ |

Write a story based on the worst case scenario in a classic fairy tale.

For example, what could have happened if one of Cinderella’s sisters became the Princes’ wife instead?

Once Upon A December

It started with a gunshot

They rang through the palace

A rumor of the Grand Duchess Anastasia escaping?

Not likely


The years pass

Rumors get more loud

A reward for her return

One that many had tried to get


It all started with a daydream

A locket that read "Together In Paris"

Dancing Bears

Painted Wings

Things I almost remember


And a song

Someone sings

Once Upon A December


Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova

Was that who I really was?

Apparently to my friend, I was


A Grand Duchess who grew up on the streets?

Not likely

And even less likely to be believed by the Dowager Empress

My supposed Grandmother


It ended with being shoved out

They had found their Anastasia

One who barely even looked like her


The Dowager Empress dismisses me

Saying that her granddaughter had returned

I was shoved out


Now I roam the streets of Paris

Looking for a family who I thought could have been her

Singing myself a lullaby


Dancing Bears

Painted Wings

Things I almost remember


And a song

Someone sings

Once Upon A December


"Together In Paris"

What a joke
