What Sleeping Beauty?


Did Sleeping Beauty ever sleep?

Was it really a prince who saved her? 

What if...

What if...

There was a different side to Sleeping Beauty?

A girl who was really a rebel at heart?

What if...

What if...

There was a girl who already knew her prophecy? 

Of the spinning spindle that would make her sleep?

What if...

What if...

She decided to take fate into her own hands?

Had someone else prick their pinky?

What if...

What if...

She snuck out her tower?

With only her clothes on her back and jewels to sell?

What if...

What if...

She met a servent girl on her way to escape?

If they ran away together? Forever connected? 

What if?
