The Princess in the Tower
A non-traditional fairytale
There once lived a princess in a tower so high. She was never let out to see the people alive. Until a disease drove through the kingdom, and all that was left was her. She came out of the tower hungered and thirsted but found no one alive. Sitting alone, a man from another kingdom comes on his white horse. He offers her food and drink, and to go to his kingdom to live. She says no thank you, and I want mine. He pulls out his sword and kills her off. Now he has two domains instead of one.

The old house creaked as the wind was blowing swiftly across the valley. The cold of fall was blowing in, and preparation for their new home. All the wooden boxes lay piled in the attic. A searing pain landed William on the ground. Low-lying rafters and the small space were a recipe for disaster for the tall man. Laying on the ground, he could feel the searing pain from the headache. William groaned and sat up in the narrow pathway. He could hear his wife with her brogue, even through the pain screaming at their children. She always had a hot temper and could never stay calm. Her red hair was as hot as her temper, but as mild manner as William was, he loved her.
