Cinderella
In this retelling of a classic tale, Mariette struggles through life with a stepmother that hates her. When she is whisked away at the prince's ball, she begins to believe that her life is going to change-that is until the prince discovers that her slipper is a perfect fit for her stepsister. Fighting the urge to confess her secret, Mariette and her family move into the prince's castle, where old friends-and fiancés-are reunited. Note on Setting: This takes place in a kind of fictional France (hence many of the names, though they speak English). Postscript: "Lady" is a title given to woman married to a man with an estate, much like "Queen" is given to a woman married to a man with a castle. "Mistress" is given to a woman yet to inherit an estate, though of high-class breed (one would not refer to a beggar or maid as 'Mistress'). Monsieur (pronounced Mi-syur, despite the spelling) is a title given to a man that has yet to or has inherited an estate.Complete

The Story Behind the Slipper
We all know the classic story of a girl who lost her glass slipper running away from her dreams, and racing back to her sad reality of being a peasant maid for her own step-mother and step-sisters, the only family she has left. Yes, this is a story based on none other than the character of Cinderella. However...this rendition of telling the tale is quite different. This quick-read is all written in the form of haikus; a form of poetry that is written in a 5/7/5 syllable count. In this story, you learn about the lives these characters really lived behind the scenes of the happily ever after that we all know to be. You'll discover rich amounts of character development from minor characters and learn major mic-drops about the major characters. I hope you enjoy reading and visualizing the lives of various characters and what they may have been thinking throughout this story! I give you...The Story Behind the Slipper... :) ____________________________ *I did not create or invent this princess who we all know and love and who has been around for generations. *I merely wanted to write a rendition of this story in the form of haikus only and I wanted to portray this amazing story in different perspectives of different characters. *Thank you for understanding and I hope whoever reads this enjoys it to the fullest! :)Complete
Happily Ever After the Apocalypse
This is just your basic, average Cinderella story...with a few notable exceptions: (1) It takes place in the fractured remains of the US, long after a meteor strike wiped out most of human civilization. (2) The wicked step-sisters are not so wicked. Everyone has their demons, evil step-mother notwithstanding, right? (3) Cinderella struggles with depression and is pregnant, with no hope of seeing her baby's daddy ever again. (4) And, oh yeah, Prince Charming actually has a personality.
