I first wrote this story back in Grade 5, then dragged it back out of my million documents last December for a short story contest. I rewrote it, added a second story (hence Two Dark Fables), and even though I didn't win, I'm entering again this year. One problem. The story has to be appropriate for children... which is why I don't think this one stands a chance. It asks for a little too much moral thinking.
Two Dark Fables follows a scarred, vengeful girl and a struggling yet cunning queen. Inspired by the Brothers Grimm, one story is a fractured fairytale retelling.
The Sycamore is really personal to me because it reflects my own experience growing up with prominent scars I was mocked for, though the MC and I take very different paths. I love The Last Child, too; Watching it grow has been crazy.
If u read it, pls leave honest criticism, or tell me if I should delay it for now and start fresh. I wanna know what needs fixing :)
