A Twisted Fairy-Tale



Once upon a time, a girl came to live in small town named 'Hopeland'. She had previously resided in a cursed town named 'Despair-Land'. There, people couldn't fulfill their hopes and desires. The girl escaped from that dire place because she wanted a bit of hope.

The girl carried on with her life in Hopeland, but without any success of hope ever coming to her. The curse of Despair-land had taken a deep root inside her soul. Whatever she wished for came tauntingly close, and then disappeared, leaving her more broken than before. In this half destroyed condition, she met a boy in her locality. They fell in love instantly. The girl tried to resist the power of love very much, but to no avail. Love overpowered her better judgement, and she fell maddeningly and irrevocably in love with that boy. The boy too, loved her passionately. Days passed, months passed and their love and regard for each other kept on increasing. The boy taught the girl to hope -- hope for their futures together,  and the girl started nurturing that hope with great care within her. As a result of her care, her hope solidified, attaching itself to her very soul, near the place where the curse from her former home resided.  The hope she nurtured nourished itself by feeding on her life-essence. It became a part of her, and with time engulfed her heart, merging with it as one. 

But, the girl should have known better. She should have known that her greatest folly had been to hope again, to make herself susceptible to love.  The curse residing in her soul had only waited for the love and the hope to become a  major part of her heart. The moment this stage was attained, the curse showed its effect. The boy she loved so much, broke her heart and went away. The hope she nurtured broke her heart into pieces. She couldn't survive anymore with those broken pieces of her heart, unable to serve its purpose. She breathed her last breath with agony and then lay still forever. 

The curse triumphed. There was no happily ever after, just because the girl dared to hope, hope with her whole being. She was cursed. She should have learned to live with it. She should have learned not to hope.



Hope you like this new version of fairy-tale. I tried to do something out of the league.
