This was really great! Reminds me of some old old fairy tales!

That was kind of the idea. Not your happily ever enter kind.

Right! It's a little "monkey's paw" too :D

Loved this! And I agree with everyone else. A part two would be great.

Oh and thank you! I’m so glad you liked it!

I feel like everyone’s hoping for a happy ending here. Hmmm?

I am in to see wherever it goes. I like how you don’t over explain anything, so there are many possibilities.

I’ll think about it. Hmmmm?

Oooh!! What happens next?!!! Biscuit thinks maybe dragons save her!

That’s the second time someone wanted to know what happens next. I hadn’t intended to make this a larger piece I might think about it.

This gave me chills, what an incredible twist. This feels like a dark fairytale. I need a part two to know if Mary ever escapes!

Thank you so much. I’m glad you liked it. Honestly, I hadn’t thought about a sequel. It kind of does make a good premise for a larger story, doesn’t it?

I’m going to say the same thing to you that I said to my five year old today when he was doing Legos: I LOVE your imagination!

Words about things and stuff's avatar

Thank you! I’m super curious now though, what did he make?

A house without a roof because “houses don’t really need roofs!”

Words about things and stuff's avatar

Maybe we should all have retractable roofs. Like convertible cars.

See? You guys should collab!

He sounds like a great guy. Hmmmm? Actually, if you want, ask him to give me an idea and I’ll turn it into a story. Why not? Maybe we should!

Well I would love that but he clammed up and couldn’t think of anything so my ten year old suggested a story about a fish. Maybe they didn’t have enough caffeine this morning?
