010. Fairytale

Word count: 136

Brittany wasn't one to stop believing in fairytales.

Even at sixteen, she believed that there was a girl, closed up in a high tower, with 70-foot hair. She believed that there was a girl under the sea, longing to have legs. She believed that there was a girl laying somewhere, in a hundred-year-long slumber, waiting for somebody to kiss her. She believed that there was a girl, cleaning up after her evil step-family, waiting for her prince to return her lost shoe. She also believed in Santa Clause, the Easter Rabbit, the Tooth Fairy, and the boogey man under her bed.

And she believed, above all and everything, that one day, her prince would come for her, preferably on his white horse – but if it was a red and black wheelchair, she wouldn't complain even then.
