Aurora: The Hundred-Year Scream

The curse never broke — it learned to sing.

By GoldenSpeechPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

When the prince kissed Aurora, she woke only halfway. Her eyes opened, but her mind stayed in sleep. In dreams, she screamed for a century, the sound echoing in people’s nightmares across kingdoms.

Priests tried to exorcise the castle; their shadows burned against the walls. Her body lay still, smiling faintly, while her spirit wandered through every sleeper’s dream, asking, “Can you wake me up?”

No one ever answers.
