Edward Scissorhands

Chapter 1: Introduction

——————————✂️——————————

In a small suburban house, an old woman was looking out of a window, watching the snow drift down from the sky. In the distance, the woman could see an old rickety house sat at the top of a hill.

After a moment, the old woman turned away to face her granddaughter, who was lying down in a big bed.

"Snuggle in sweetie. It's cold out there." The old woman told the little girl.

"Why is it snowing grandma? Where does it come from?" The girl asked.

The grandmother walked over to the bed and tucked her granddaughter in. "Oh, that's a long story, sweetheart."

"I wanna hear." The girl requested.

"Oh, not tonight. Go to sleep."

"I'm not sleepy. Tell me, please?" The little girl begged.

"Well, alright." The woman caved. "Let's see. I guess it would have to start with scissors." She explained, as she sat in a big armchair.

"Scissors?" The girl asked in confusion.

"Well, there are all kinds of scissors. And once, there was even a man who had scissors for hands." The grandma explained

"A man?"

"Yes."

"Hands-scissors?"

"No. Scissor hands. You know the mansion on top of the mountain?" The woman asked.

"It's haunted."

"Well, a long time ago, an inventor lived in that mansion. He made many things I suppose. But even with all those things, he was very lonely. So one day, he built a woman, and gave her insides, a heart, a brain, everything. And he built her to be his daughter."

"But, as time passed, the inventor became older while she never aged. And he knew he would be gone one day, and didn't want his daughter to be all alone..."

"So, the inventor also created a man to be her friend and keep her company. He also gave the man everything a person would have. Well, almost everything. You see, the inventor was very old. He died before he could finish the man, and left him incomplete. And the two were all alone."

"They didn't have names?" The girl asked.

"Of course they had names. The girl was named (Y/n), and the man was named Edward."
