Well, my english class had to write parodies of a fairy tale following Salinger's type of writing for Catcher in the Rye. So i created Sleeper in the Rye. Which is a short story set in the evil fairy's point of view. I know it may be choppy but we had a 500 word limit so there wasn't much room to expand on plot. So if you've read or are reading Catcher give this a try you might just like it!


If you really want to know what happened, ask me and not that phony princess. I guess it all started on the day I wasn't invited. That really killed me. I mean I'm a pretty popular fairy the only real one compared to all those phonies, and they excluded me from attending. So at first I was really mad. I mean a fairy's life is pretty boring, you bless some babies and cure some diseases then sit at home all day. Not like I wanted to go to the crumby castle, but I was getting lonely. I mean, I was so depressed I wanted to die. So I decided since I was feeling so depressed I'd go see this crumby princess. Well I got there late, so I looked like a complete idiot barging into the room. The room killed me though, it was all pink. You couldn't take a step without touching the goddamn frilly stuff. Then the stupid gifts the fairies were giving the princess, beauty, golden hair, a sweet voice. You would think the girl looked like a crumby monkey. That all got me pretty mad, those phonies were trying to show off, so I gave the princess a nice gift. I gave her a curse. This was really good, I mean I've never done such a goddamn good job. She was gonna prick her finger and then die, and all on her sixteenth birthday. That kind of gift really kills me. You should have seen those phonies faces when they heard the curse. It killed me, really it did. The only thing that got me mad was that one of those phony fairies saved the girl in the end, making her sleep and all. Well, that got me so depressed I decided I'd wait until that crumby princess's sixteenth birthday. The thing that killed me was all that waiting. It made me think about how the princess would prick her finger since the phony king got rid of all the spinning wheels. That made me so depressed I actually planned to kill myself but when the time came I didn't feel like it so I didn't do it. Finally the day came and my plan was perfect. I lured the phony princess up the stairway where a spinning wheel sat, and this part really killed me, she didn't know what it was so she touched it. The curse was complete and that really killed me. So for months the princess slept and the castle too, the phony fairies made a spell to put everyone to sleep. Until this guy, he really killed me, came and broke the spell! That really got me mad so I turned into a dragon and was going to kill him until he killed me, literally. So now all I am is a dead fairy, killed by a phony prince. You want to know what happened to the prince and the princess? They lived happily ever after, now that really kills me.


I hope you liked the Parody!Please comment, I'd like to know what you thought of it! Sorry if the spacing is a little strange something happened from going double spaced to single spaced, so I'm sorry if it hurt you eyes. As for my other readers who've been waiting for a new chapter on When Darkness Falls, I swear I'm working on it! It's almost the end of the school year so I've been very busy and plan on updating it soon. Thank you all again!
