While Beauty Sleeps
The old man had kept his promise; he had sent one of his daughters.
I watched her crumble onto the ground as I entered the garden. Why shouldn't she? I was a beast.
She was light as a feather as I picked her up. Such soft skin, such red lips. When I was a boy I was told faerie stories of women who looked like her. Until now I never knew such a woman could exist.
I didn't know her name, but until I knew it, I would call her beauty, for that is what she is.
As the door opened to her bedroom, her rags became a gown. I gazed at her as she opened her eyes, they were green.
After informing her that dinner was at seven, I covered my face so she would not see my ugliness.
I will treat her as she deserves to be treated and maybe one day she will love me enough to break the curse.
