Once upon a time…

            There was a girl that spent her days looking out her window. As she grew up, she became afraid of the world because of the stories her mother told her, but the woman pretending to be her mother was really an evil witch who stole the girl when she was just a baby (yeah, I need to learn to name characters when they first show up. But this is free writing and I’m not caring about mistakes. Ha! So, let’s call the girl Emma and the witch Zeno).

            Emma became so afraid of the real world that she even stopped looking out the windows. By the time she was 15, all the windows had thick curtains over them. And when she was 18, the curtains were replaced with boards nailed to the window frames. Zeno was delighted. She did not want Emma to be interested in the world. At first it was because she was afraid that Emma might be recognized and Emma would be taken away from her. But as Emma grew up it became obvious that Emma was growing more obvious that she was growing more beautiful every day.

            Zeno knew the cruelty of the world for being judged by her disturbing appearance. But she also knew that the world can be just as cruet to beauty in a different way. She had grown to love Emma and did not want her to be hurt thus.

 

Yeah, that’s good for now. Sorry if you want more writing. My life has just been a bit… My mind has been busy with other things. I’ll try to get better about writing, and hopefully it’ll be things you will like. Until next time.
