Once there was a girl who lived in a forest cottage.
Upon her wrist she bore a birthmark in the shape of a newly opening rose.
A ticking triple curse was cast at the moment of her birth, and her
Time is running out.
Story sets out its cogwheels, its driving pistons. It plans its devices: a beauty and a castle, a rose and three curses. And thorns. Always thorns. And now, to set it all in motion…it needs a Godmother.
That’s the way it was with stories - you went on because you needed to find out what happened next.
“We just have to be sure we’re living our own stories, Rosie, and not ones laid down for us by…well, by something else.”
“Once there was a girl who lived in a forest cottage.
Upon her wrist she bore a birthmark in the shape of a newly opening rose.
A ticking triple curse was cast at the moment of her birth, and her
Time is running out.”
