Not Your Average Snow White

Thu, 06/08/2017 - 16:29 -- kirasl

Once upon a time: for it only happened once
and the time isn't too specific
(well, it is a fairytale).

Once upon a time there was a princess. 
(there's always a princess)

Her life was threatened by an evil queen.
(I wonder which story this is)

With hair of the raven and skin of snow,
(go figure)

she ran through a forest that seemed to come alive.
(wait, what? how?)

Chased by a hunter though the dark woods,
(is she on drugs?)

she came across a cottage.
(in the middle of the woods...?)

In that cottage were seven beds, all shorter than the avergae man.
(did she eat something on her way there?)

The princess took it upon herself to clean the entire cottage.
(okay....)

While she cleaned she sang to the woodland animals and they assisted her in cleaning the house.
(She ate some mushrooms. I figured it out. It's shrooms)

Why are you ruining my story???
(the princess obviously ate some mushrooms while she was in the woods)

If that's what you think, then why don't you finish the story?
(fine, I will)

(The princess continued seeing her hallucinations 
until she passed out and slept.
She woke up in an empty shed with no beds, no woodland animals,
and the queen's hunter standing over her.
The princess was taken back to the palace, into the hands of the evil queen.
There, she was hanged
and the "snow white" corpse shown as an example for those who desired rebellion in the kingdom.

The end)
How pleasant.
