Reimagined Fairy Tales
The Girl in the Tower
2021
“Intruders again?” asks Rapunzel.
“I got rid of them,” the dragon assures her, gliding in a slow loop around her tower. “Just singed them a bit, not too badly. I assume they were well-intentioned.”
“Typical. Just typical. They hear about a girl in a tower, and they assume she needs saving.”
“To be fair,” grumbles the dragon, “They also heard there was a witch in this tower.”
Rapunzel grins. “And never does it occur to them that the girl and the witch might be the same person.”
