Cinderella: The Glass Bride
When the clock struck midnight, her body turned to glass.
After the ball, the prince searched for the girl who vanished in a shimmer of frost. But when he found her, she wasn’t breathing. Her heart, fragile and transparent, beat only when light passed through it. He married her anyway, terrified to lose what he couldn’t understand.
Every year, a new crack appeared in her chest. The king ordered mirrors removed from the palace; they reflected not her beauty, but the fractures spreading beneath her ribs.
When she finally shattered, no one saw it happen. Only the slipper remained — melted into sand.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
