You can’t make someone fall in love with you...that is where the storytellers write their own sugary versions of the truth. A pack of lies until they reach ‘The End.’

No story ever comes to an end, at least not one so neat. There are voices silenced, characters erased at the storyteller’s whim...

They do not tell you what happens when the children have eaten their way through the witch’s treasures and face another starving winter, when the glass slipper no longer fits the crone’s swollen foot, when the beauty doesn’t fall in love with her beastly prince.


This story was magical in all the right ways. The ending was not any different, but just the same, the ending was not what I wanted.
