Eyebrows drew together suspiciously as the question left her lips.
“It’s m-m-mine, my love,” he stammered, an unconvincing smile on his visage.
Her gold-shod heel tapped the ground in lofty condescension.
“Really, Charming? Then, why does it say Rumpelstiltskin on the mailbox?”
Hahahahah…she couldn’t be deceived. Poor Prince charming!
Beautifully done!
I never really liked Charming, did you? Lovely piece you’ve got here!
This is so fun! She’s got some sass going on!
Anything that makes people smile is good for me ☺
Thank you very much!
Maybe he’s in on the plot, Nate ?
Lovely! It planted a wide smile across my face.
Clever fairy tale.
Rumpelstiltskin’s going to be mad when he gets home from vacation!
hmmmmmmmmmmm I wud suddenly have a memory loss 🙂
What would you have said in his place, Bikram? 😉

That’s nice to hear 🙂
Come on Aditi. Side with the woman 😉
haha! M smiling:)
Haha…poor he! Excellent write Shailaja! 🙂
Yes, if she doesn’t really want the answers ?
Haha – some questions are better left unasked : )
I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t mean it Shailaja! 🙂 I attempted 100 words for 2 WW’s and was way off! 😉 <3
Thank you Vinitha! 🙂
Elly, you are too kind and also too partial 😉 But, your lovely words made my day, so thank you 🙂
Well, he was tongue-tied for quite some time after that 😀
Deboshree, I tell you, reading comments like yours makes me realise why I love to write. As much as I write for myself and to liberate the demons in my head, it is such a pleasure to know that my writing can touch a chord with someone. For that, I am grateful. <3
Well, he deserved it after what he’d done 😉
Superb. You are really an artist, Shailaja. 🙂
hahaha….too funny Shailaja! BTW, has anyone ever told you that YOUR brilliance is in writing short stories: you are a ‘master’ at it! 🙂 <3
I can exactly picture the scene there. Wondering what he had to say for himself.
Excellent. Such simplicity in the tale. Reading your blog is a treat and a lesson at the same time (in brevity, precision and creating engaging content). 🙂
Poor Prince Charming! That’s a tough one to answer 😛
When I find out, I’ll let you know. ? thanks Shilpa!
Shailaja, how do you come up with such fantastic ideas? Tell me your secret…:-)
Well, I certainly am glad about that 😀
I tell you, some stories must never be told. Hush! 😉
Ha, I bet he didn’t really expect her to ask 😉
Thank you so much 🙂
Hehehe…this made me smile!
Haha. I wonder how Prince Charming lost his castle?
I hope he has an answer ready to handle that one
Superb lines beautifully described .Love it Shailaja
