The classic story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf... with a twist. _______________ Carden is a shepherd who's lived in the same town his whole life, a small village with old ideas that had been perfectly bearable... Until Wolf, his best friend and lover, mysteriously disappeared. Everyone says that he's died, killed by wolves while walking in the woods (ironic, considering his name). But when Carden swears that he sees the boy and believes that he might still be alive, no one in the town believes him. In this retelling... who's the real liar? _______________ Awarded an honorable mention in the Rewind the Classics 2021 Contest. Word Count: 4,738

They wanted to see the pretty cottage, pick the pretty roses. That was their mistake.

A Beauty and the Beast Fanfiction for the Rewind the Classics 2021 challenge. Notice: I do not own the characters or storyline I altered. We all have heard of the tale as old as time, or have we? Ten years ago an Enchantress placed a curse upon a castle that overlooked a small town. The curse changed the appearance of everyone inside the castle, and unfortunately the villagers and animals of the small town. Due to potentially harming the innocent the Enchantress attempted to reverse her spell. In the end, the Enchantress altered time for humans sending them in a never-changing time loop. As for the animals, who live between the castle and the town, their time moves forward. Forever changing. The question is, how long can a curse hold? What happens if someone unaffected by the curse enters the realm?

WINNER Rewind the Classics 2021 | Storytelling takes many forms...including art! This is a collection of my digital paintings, Inktober drawings and doodles. I experiment with various styles, though I tend to gravitate towards the dark and quirky. My digital art is produced using Huion Kamvas Pro 22 and Adobe Photoshop. I've also dabbled with Manga Studio, and my early art was produced using a Wacom tablet. The cover displays early concept art of Evanna Zeller in a fantasy setting, produced back in 2016. Evanna is the protagonist of my YA sci-fi novel, Komoreby. ● Website: 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝘀𝘂𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗮.𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 You can find my art on social media: ● suvidadraws on FB/IG (main account) ● darkenlolly on FB/IG (dark, chibi art) ● suvida on Behance (a more comprehensive portfolio with design and animation work) *** © 2021 Su Vida
