My Lover: The Snake

An Original Children's story about a woman and her lover; the Snake.

Author's Note:
I was told once that, 'If you want to teach a specific lesson, why tell the story in the first place', so Both versions of this story were written without a moral or lesson in mind. It was simply, a story. But upon rereading, I find that my takeaway is "Focus on the value of what you have, as opposed to the percieved value of what you don't". Don't envy the normalcy of another's love, especially if it will only hurt your own.

As I mentioned earlier, this story has two endings, a "True"/Happy ending. And a secondary/bad ending. The first ending, is the one I like the best, but after writing it I felt that this story couldn't survive without the second ending to remind us of the consequences of our envy.
I hope you enjoy
