I always thought that Once Upon A Time sounded cliché and unoriginal. Well I've learned long since then that it is a perfect fit for a beginning when you don't know how to start. I'm going to tell you my story, a long since forgotten reminiscence of yesterday and the only way to begin is truly, Once Upon A Time…
Once Upon A Time there was a young girl with bright blue eyes. As any other child, she was innocent, untouched by the world's cruelty. She had a happy life, a beautiful home, loving family and as any other young girl of this time she longed for adventure. She would messily tie up her long blond hair with a red ribbon and play for hours imagining her on voyages with magical creatures in distant lands. But just as everything else that is good, it becomes tainted by the world and what once was happy and innocent, is no more, and soon enough that Once Upon A Time is lost. My name is Alicia and that young girl was me. This story begins not at the Once Upon A Time but not long after when my story changes so much that it seems like there won't be a happily ever after.
