Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time, Once upon a time, over and over history has chimed. All the classical stories, the songs and the rhymes, now what if you found out that it was all lies? What if Snow White was Purple Rain, with Lavender curls and lips black stained? What if Rapunzel had really short hair, and she who hid her away really did care? Maybe Cinderella was a spoiled princess, do you think Sleeping Beauty was faking her spelled rest? Now imagine Beauty and the Beast, What if Belle fled right after the feast? What if they never fell in love, what do you think he would have done? Do you remember little Ariel, pursuing true love and giving up her voice to a spell? What if she revealed herself to her prince, but instead of love he forced her to forever dance? Little Red Riding Hood, we all know she tried taking a trip through some dangerous woods, we know it was to take care of her grandmother, remember the wolf? Well what if he was her long lost brother? What if he was the victim instead of those 3 swine, what if they cursed him forever because of an accident one time? Once Upon A Time we learned of new possibilities that maybe the tales we grew with were just to deceive, to sugarcoat our wonder and childhood splendor, can you imagine taking everything you knew, all about once upon a time until you find out it was all untrue?
