Romeo and Juliet: The Re-write

In a remote European kingdom Lived two feuding families: the Montagues and the Capulets. Romeo, a Montague, met Juliet, a Capulet, at a party one night. The two could not resist falling in love, though both were mere teenagers. Upon hearing of the lovers, their parents objected, the clans were appalled. Few times would Romeo get to see Juliet, and only in great haste. Friends would arrange masked meetings for the lovers, risky business for all involved. Eventually the pair eloped and returned home to feel their parents’ wrath. At first the clans were shocked; Juliet was suddenly bold and Romeo was defiant. “What has this generation come to?” wondered the elders, only to discover their feud was foolish. Romeo and Juliet ushered in a new era, where prejudice is primitive and love reigns, now and forever. The End.
