Fairytale of New York
Once upon a time in a land far away, there lived a young girl with big dreams. She was raised by a horrible stepmother in the poorer section of the city. She had to clean the roach infested apartment and made all the meals with paltry scraps of food.
One day, the young girl grew up. She met a wonderful man who wined and dined her. She felt like a princess. But now she sits in her tower. She is surrounded by beautiful clothes, furnishings and people. Isn’t it ironic that she narrowly escaped one prison to enter another.

Drabble(n) - an extremely short work of fiction exactly one hundred words in length.
Love the drabble. The painting is, of course, familiar, but for some strange reason, I don't remember the drabble at all. Very bad memory, indeed.
ReplyDeleteNo problem. I don't think we used it for the advent calendar last year. Thanks.
