Dreamsdontcometrue Stories

Everyone loves a good old classic, right? Cinderella, the little mermaid, goldilocks and the three bears...But what if I told you that these tales aren't as happy as they seem...? This is part one of the series, "twisted Tales" about the story of the little mermaid in mine and the brothers Grimm's eyes.

Two years ago, Kate Sinclair walked away from the pool. After a lifetime of 30-hour training weeks and gold medals, she traded her swimsuit for a camera to satisfy her father's demands for academic perfection. Now an eighteen-year-old focused on architectural photography, Kate believes that the "naive" girl who dreamed of a professional swimming career is long gone. But the past has a way of resurfacing. When a photography project forces her back to the water's edge, the familiar scent of chlorine and the sight of her old rival reignite a hunger she thought she'd suppressed. Suddenly, Kate is faced with a life-changing opportunity: a chance to pursue the elite Redwood Sports School (RSS)-the very dream she once tore off her bedroom walls. But achieving that dream? Kate's got her work cut out for her.
