Snow White: A twisted tale

We are writing narratives.
I found it hard to make it not so long.
I found it easy to think of what I was going to write.

Snow White and Rose Red couldn’t be more different. But they couldn’t be more the same. Yes, you may have heard the story of Snow White and how she gets poisoned, then wakes up from a kiss from Prince Charming. Like, who names their kid Charming?! Snow White had fled from her evil, wicked stepfather. The King was big, and had almost no neck. Ruthless, and despicable were understatements for King. He beheaded anyone when he got the chance and had stupid rules. Snow White ran and ran as the wind rushed against her face. Finally she couldn’t take it anymore. Panting heavily, she was overcome with fatigue and collapsed on the soft green moss, like a green velvet cushion.

When Snow awoke from her sleep she saw 17 pairs of eyes staring at her. Stepfather? No. Rose? No. Dwarves? Surprisingly, no. Giants. They were big, but not like Snow’s stepfather. They had a kind, twinkling sort of look in their eyes. “Look,it’s Snow, Rose’s sister!” Cried one of them. “Would you like a piece of our broccoli salad?” Snow didn’t want to be rude, so she took a nibble. After awhile Snow felt faint. Like… Like she was going to black out. And she did.

Rose Red was knitting quietly when a note dropped on her lap. “ GO INTO THE WOODS, SNOW’S IT TRUBLE!” Scrawled on it. Yes, reader I know how to spell trouble. Rose rushed into the woods,and found the adorable cottage tucked within the trees. Soon she found her sister. She threw herself into a hug and Snow’s eyes fluttered open. And guess what? They lived happily ever after WITHOUT Prince Charming.
