A retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk!
Kicking rocks along the street, boots worn, and short ginger colored hair-this is the outward look of a girl with many secrets, most of which she doesn't even know.
Jackie is a rough seventeen year old girl, hardened by the loss of her parents. Today is the ceremony of the Storytelling of Jack, a warrior who protected her quaint village from an aggressive giant. Every year the once poor orphaned boy is celebrated for his achievements. Jackie looks on to Jack for inspiration, and dreams to climb up the Beanstalk just like him. But she can't. Or at least, not without some help.
Magic flowing to the tips of her fingers, huddled over a notebook made of flower petals, scrambling with a green pen is the giant, so far above. She sits on her cloud, sighing as she nostalgically feels something she cannot remember. It's fluid like soothing water, but passionately burning like fire at same time, a magic she can't even begin to place. The memories are so palpable, yet so far away-a still emptiness.
Who will fill the hole inside her heart?
