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
