Not 100% certain what is happening here, but i think the idea is the child (boy?) is crying in the first image. He reappears in the second a few pages later, being comforted b the Faerie Queen. The patch on his shorts (and maybe his bare feet) suggest poverty.

9/11: The "Official Story" Is a Fairy Tale for Adults

Two planes. Three buildings. A trillion-dollar accounting error. A passport that survived a fireball. If you believe the government's version, you'll believe anything.

Three Towers, Two Planes, One Impossible Physics Problem

Let's start with the simplest fact that no one in the mainstream media wants to explain: on September 11, 2001, two planes hit two buildings, but three buildings fell down.

World Trade Center Building 7 was a 47-story skyscraper that was not hit by any plane. It suffered only minor fires and superficial damage. Yet at 5:20 PM that afternoon, it collapsed into its own footprint at virtually free-fall speed — the signature of a controlled demolition.

Building 7 housed the offices of the Secret Service, the CIA, and — most crucially — the US Securities and Exchange Commission. All the files for approximately 3,000 to 4,000 SEC cases, including the Enron scandal, were destroyed in that collapse.

Enron. The biggest corporate fraud in American history. The investigation files. Gone.

And what did the 9/11 Commission Report say about Building 7? Nothing. Not a single word.

If that doesn't make you pause, nothing will.

The "Pull It" Moment

Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the World Trade Center complex, gave an interview for a PBS documentary in which he described the decision-making on September 11. His words: "I remember getting a call from the fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.' And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse."

"Pull it."

In demolition industry terminology, "pull" means to bring a building down with explosives. Silverstein's spokesman later claimed he meant "pull the firefighters out" — but you don't "pull" firefighters. You pull buildings. And Building 7 came down in a textbook controlled demolition.

Six Weeks Before

Here's a detail that should have been on the front page of every newspaper: Larry Silverstein signed the lease for the World Trade Center just six weeks before 9/11.

Six weeks.

And what did he do almost immediately after signing that lease? He negotiated a massive insurance policy — $3.55 billion in coverage, with a clause specifically covering terrorism.

The previous insurance on the property was roughly half that amount. Silverstein reportedly insisted on the terrorism clause. And after the attacks, he went to court arguing that because two planes hit two towers, he should be paid twice — nearly $7 billion.

A man leases a property six weeks before its destruction, quadruples the insurance, adds terrorism coverage, and then argues for a double payout. In any other context, investigators would call that a motive.

The Mastermind in a Cave

The official story tells us that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged "mastermind" of 9/11, coordinated the entire operation from a cave in Afghanistan using a phone and a laptop.

A man on dialysis. In a cave. In one of the most remote regions on Earth. Directing the most sophisticated terrorist attack in history, coordinating 19 hijackers across the United States, managing flight schools, finances, and logistics — all from a cave.

Meanwhile, the hijackers allegedly brought down the World Trade Center with box cutters. Utility knives. Against trained pilots and crew. And they supposedly overpowered the passengers on four separate flights.

If you believe that, you also believe that a passport belonging to one of the hijackers — Satam al-Suqami — survived the fireball explosion that supposedly cremated him, flew out of his pocket, and landed intact on the street blocks away, ready to be found by investigators.

The bodies of hundreds of victims were never recovered. But the hijacker's passport? Pristine.

The President Who Knew

On the morning of September 11, President George W. Bush was at Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, reading "The Pet Goat" to a group of second-graders.

He was informed that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. He stayed in the classroom for another five to seven minutes.

Later, in December 2001 and again in January 2002, Bush claimed he saw the first plane hit the tower on television before entering the classroom. "I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower," he said.

But here's the problem: no cameras were trained on the World Trade Center at the time of the first impact. No live footage of the first plane hitting the North Tower existed until much later. The first crash was not broadcast live.

So how did Bush see it?

Either he was lying, or he had prior knowledge. His spokesman later called it a "mistaken recollection".

A mistaken recollection about the most significant event of his presidency. Right.

The Pentagon: The Day Before and the Day Of

On September 10, 2001 — one day before the attacks — Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld gave a speech at the Pentagon. In that speech, he admitted something extraordinary:

"According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions."

$2.3 trillion. Missing. Unaccounted for. The day before the Pentagon was hit.

The following day, a plane — or something — struck the Pentagon. And the very section of the building that was hit? The area where the accounting and financial records were kept.

The missing money? The records that might have explained it? Destroyed.

Less than 48 hours after Rumsfeld admitted the Pentagon couldn't account for trillions, the evidence went up in flames. If you're a conspiracy theorist, that's not a coincidence. That's a cover-up.

No Plane, No Bodies, No Parts

The Pentagon is one of the most secure buildings on Earth. Cameras cover every inch of it. Multiple security cameras recorded the approach.

Not a single frame showing the plane hitting the Pentagon was released to the public for years. When footage was finally released in 2006, it was grainy, low-resolution, and showed nothing clearly identifiable as a Boeing 757.

The hole in the Pentagon was approximately five meters across — far too small for a 757 with a wingspan of nearly 38 meters. Conspiracy theorists pointed out that the lawn was clean after the attack, with no wing debris, no tail section, no engines.

At most plane crashes around the world, you find bodies, seats, luggage, engine parts, landing gear — debris scattered across a wide area. At the Pentagon, the official story claims the plane completely disintegrated on impact, vaporized by the heat of the explosion.

But if the plane vaporized, why were there no bodies? Why no plane parts? Why did witnesses describe a missile or a military aircraft?

And why did the government fight so hard to keep the footage secret?

The Dancing Israelis

On the morning of September 11, five men were arrested in Liberty State Park, New Jersey. They had been videotaping the attacks — and witnesses reported they were celebrating, "dancing" as the towers burned.

They worked for a company called Urban Moving Systems, which the FBI later determined was a Mossad front.

They were detained, interrogated, and eventually deported. The official explanation? They were just "celebrating" — nothing to see here.

But if five men with cameras and a Mossad cover company were positioned to film the attacks before they happened, that suggests foreknowledge. And foreknowledge suggests involvement.

The Passport and the Phone Call

We already mentioned the hijacker passport that survived the fireball. But let's add another detail.

The alleged hijackers were supposedly led by a man on dialysis in a cave who used a satellite phone and a laptop to coordinate everything.

But satellite phones in Afghanistan in 2001? Laptops in caves? The logistics are absurd. The 9/11 Commission itself found that the attacks were planned and executed by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — a man who was later captured and waterboarded 183 times. The "intelligence" used to justify the Iraq War came from torture. And the CIA destroyed the tapes of those interrogations.

The evidence is gone. The "mastermind" was tortured into confession. And the American public was told to accept it.

What the 9/11 Commission Didn't Investigate

The 9/11 Commission was delayed, underfunded, and based on testimony extracted from torture.

It didn't mention Building 7. It didn't investigate who funded the attacks. It didn't examine Operation Able Danger, the military intelligence program that allegedly identified some of the hijackers before 9/11. It didn't look at the war games being conducted on the morning of 9/11 — simulations of hijacked planes flying into buildings — that were running at the exact same time as the real attacks.

President Bush and Vice President Cheney testified in secret, off the record, not under oath, and behind closed doors.

What were they hiding?

The Pattern

Two planes. Three buildings. A leaseholder with terrorism insurance. A president who "saw" a crash that wasn't broadcast. A Pentagon with $2.3 trillion missing. No plane footage. No bodies. No parts. A passport that survived a fireball. Five Israelis filming and celebrating. A commission that investigated nothing.

You don't have to have all the answers to know that the official story doesn't add up. You just have to be willing to look at the facts and ask the question that the mainstream media refuses to ask:

Who benefited?

The military-industrial complex got a blank check for endless war. The surveillance state got the PATRIOT Act. The financial crimes of Enron and others got buried in the rubble of Building 7. And the American people got a story — a story that falls apart the moment you examine it.

Two planes did not bring down three towers.

Wake up.

On September 10, 2001 — one day before the attacks — Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld gave a speech at the Pentagon. In that speech, he admitted something extraordinary:

"According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions."

$2.3 trillion. Missing. Unaccounted for. The day before the Pentagon was hit.

The following day, a plane — or something — struck the Pentagon. And the very section of the building that was hit? The area where the accounting and financial records were kept.

The missing money? The records that might have explained it? Destroyed.

Less than 48 hours after Rumsfeld admitted the Pentagon couldn't account for trillions, the evidence went up in flames. If you're a conspiracy theorist, that's not a coincidence. That's a cover-up.

No Plane, No Bodies, No Parts

The Pentagon is one of the most secure buildings on Earth. Cameras cover every inch of it. Multiple security cameras recorded the approach.

Not a single frame showing the plane hitting the Pentagon was released to the public for years. When footage was finally released in 2006, it was grainy, low-resolution, and showed nothing clearly identifiable as a Boeing 757.

The hole in the Pentagon was approximately five meters across — far too small for a 757 with a wingspan of nearly 38 meters. Conspiracy theorists pointed out that the lawn was clean after the attack, with no wing debris, no tail section, no engines.

At most plane crashes around the world, you find bodies, seats, luggage, engine parts, landing gear — debris scattered across a wide area. At the Pentagon, the official story claims the plane completely disintegrated on impact, vaporized by the heat of the explosion.

But if the plane vaporized, why were there no bodies? Why no plane parts? Why did witnesses describe a missile or a military aircraft?

And why did the government fight so hard to keep the footage secret?

The Dancing Israelis

On the morning of September 11, five men were arrested in Liberty State Park, New Jersey. They had been videotaping the attacks — and witnesses reported they were celebrating, "dancing" as the towers burned.

They worked for a company called Urban Moving Systems, which the FBI later determined was a Mossad front.

They were detained, interrogated, and eventually deported. The official explanation? They were just "celebrating" — nothing to see here.

But if five men with cameras and a Mossad cover company were positioned to film the attacks before they happened, that suggests foreknowledge. And foreknowledge suggests involvement.

The Passport and the Phone Call

We already mentioned the hijacker passport that survived the fireball. But let's add another detail.

The alleged hijackers were supposedly led by a man on dialysis in a cave who used a satellite phone and a laptop to coordinate everything.

But satellite phones in Afghanistan in 2001? Laptops in caves? The logistics are absurd. The 9/11 Commission itself found that the attacks were planned and executed by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — a man who was later captured and waterboarded 183 times. The "intelligence" used to justify the Iraq War came from torture. And the CIA destroyed the tapes of those interrogations.

The evidence is gone. The "mastermind" was tortured into confession. And the American public was told to accept it.

What the 9/11 Commission Didn't Investigate

The 9/11 Commission was delayed, underfunded, and based on testimony extracted from torture.

It didn't mention Building 7. It didn't investigate who funded the attacks. It didn't examine Operation Able Danger, the military intelligence program that allegedly identified some of the hijackers before 9/11. It didn't look at the war games being conducted on the morning of 9/11 — simulations of hijacked planes flying into buildings — that were running at the exact same time as the real attacks.

President Bush and Vice President Cheney testified in secret, off the record, not under oath, and behind closed doors.

What were they hiding?

The Pattern

Two planes. Three buildings. A leaseholder with terrorism insurance. A president who "saw" a crash that wasn't broadcast. A Pentagon with $2.3 trillion missing. No plane footage. No bodies. No parts. A passport that survived a fireball. Five Israelis filming and celebrating. A commission that investigated nothing.

You don't have to have all the answers to know that the official story doesn't add up. You just have to be willing to look at the facts and ask the question that the mainstream media refuses to ask:

Who benefited?

The military-industrial complex got a blank check for endless war. The surveillance state got the PATRIOT Act. The financial crimes of Enron and others got buried in the rubble of Building 7. And the American people got a story — a story that falls apart the moment you examine it.

Two planes did not bring down three towers.

Wake up.

9/11: The "Official Story" Is a Fairy Tale for Adults

Two planes. Three buildings. A trillion-dollar accounting error. A passport that survived a fireball. If you believe the government's version, you'll believe anything.

Three Towers, Two Planes, One Impossible Physics Problem

Let's start with the simplest fact that no one in the mainstream media wants to explain: on September 11, 2001, two planes hit two buildings, but three buildings fell down.

World Trade Center Building 7 was a 47-story skyscraper that was not hit by any plane. It suffered only minor fires and superficial damage. Yet at 5:20 PM that afternoon, it collapsed into its own footprint at virtually free-fall speed — the signature of a controlled demolition.

Building 7 housed the offices of the Secret Service, the CIA, and — most crucially — the US Securities and Exchange Commission. All the files for approximately 3,000 to 4,000 SEC cases, including the Enron scandal, were destroyed in that collapse.

Enron. The biggest corporate fraud in American history. The investigation files. Gone.

And what did the 9/11 Commission Report say about Building 7? Nothing. Not a single word.

If that doesn't make you pause, nothing will.

The "Pull It" Moment

Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the World Trade Center complex, gave an interview for a PBS documentary in which he described the decision-making on September 11. His words: "I remember getting a call from the fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.' And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse."

"Pull it."

In demolition industry terminology, "pull" means to bring a building down with explosives. Silverstein's spokesman later claimed he meant "pull the firefighters out" — but you don't "pull" firefighters. You pull buildings. And Building 7 came down in a textbook controlled demolition.

Six Weeks Before

Here's a detail that should have been on the front page of every newspaper: Larry Silverstein signed the lease for the World Trade Center just six weeks before 9/11.

Six weeks.

And what did he do almost immediately after signing that lease? He negotiated a massive insurance policy — $3.55 billion in coverage, with a clause specifically covering terrorism.

The previous insurance on the property was roughly half that amount. Silverstein reportedly insisted on the terrorism clause. And after the attacks, he went to court arguing that because two planes hit two towers, he should be paid twice — nearly $7 billion.

A man leases a property six weeks before its destruction, quadruples the insurance, adds terrorism coverage, and then argues for a double payout. In any other context, investigators would call that a motive.

The Mastermind in a Cave

The official story tells us that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged "mastermind" of 9/11, coordinated the entire operation from a cave in Afghanistan using a phone and a laptop.

A man on dialysis. In a cave. In one of the most remote regions on Earth. Directing the most sophisticated terrorist attack in history, coordinating 19 hijackers across the United States, managing flight schools, finances, and logistics — all from a cave.

Meanwhile, the hijackers allegedly brought down the World Trade Center with box cutters. Utility knives. Against trained pilots and crew. And they supposedly overpowered the passengers on four separate flights.

If you believe that, you also believe that a passport belonging to one of the hijackers — Satam al-Suqami — survived the fireball explosion that supposedly cremated him, flew out of his pocket, and landed intact on the street blocks away, ready to be found by investigators.

The bodies of hundreds of victims were never recovered. But the hijacker's passport? Pristine.

The President Who Knew

On the morning of September 11, President George W. Bush was at Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, reading "The Pet Goat" to a group of second-graders.

He was informed that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. He stayed in the classroom for another five to seven minutes.

Later, in December 2001 and again in January 2002, Bush claimed he saw the first plane hit the tower on television before entering the classroom. "I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower," he said.

But here's the problem: no cameras were trained on the World Trade Center at the time of the first impact. No live footage of the first plane hitting the North Tower existed until much later. The first crash was not broadcast live.

So how did Bush see it?

Either he was lying, or he had prior knowledge. His spokesman later called it a "mistaken recollection".

A mistaken recollection about the most significant event of his presidency. Right.

The Pentagon: The Day Before and the Day Of

On September 10, 2001 — one day before the attacks — Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld gave a speech at the Pentagon. In that speech, he admitted something extraordinary:

McGruff's Bridge Part 3 of 3

#Fanfic #WanderingWitch #ThreeBillyGoatsGruff
#Wss366 Mecca

While waiting for Elaine to arrive, Saya listened to thrushes in the bush, and Sheila continued smoking, much to the displeasure of the troll, as the fumes wafted down under the stone span.

After a pause, The Adventure of Nike spoke. “I can’t believe that troll. It said that I stank.”

Picking up a spray of elm leaves that had fallen from the trees, Saya hid her amused smile behind it. “Maybe you should go back and complain.”

“Humph.”

The two fell silent again until Elaine, the Ashen Witch, strolled up to the bridge. [Again, in case you’ve forgotten who that very handsome witch who had just stepped on stage and the bridge is, it’s me.]

Indeed, like the others, the local gulls had forced me out of the sky, and I was making my way to the Three Goats Inn and Tavern. The thought of their famous bread pudding and cream puffs hurried my steps. My heart lept at the sight of the bridge. I hurried across it only to have someone bellow at me from below. “Who’s that crossing my bridge?”

Turning, I found a huge, lumpy monster climbing over the span’s parapet. At four meters in height, it was a dominating figure. The leprous skin covering its enormous frame resembled lichen as much as anything else.

“I’m Elaine, and if you’re thinking of eating me, you should reconsider. Instead, I can recommend in…”

“Shut up! Two previous women promised me a luscious dinner, and here you are.”

“It wouldn’t have been those two ladies, sitting under that elm,” I said, pointing to where Saya and Sheila sat. “This is truly a #mecca for scoundrels. Even for a troll, you were foolish to listen to them. One would think a mountain goat had kicked you in the head.”

“Enough,” the troll thundered and charged toward me.

Modesty forbids me from describing how I dealt with the troll, but in the end, it went sailing over the parapet and fell into the river, where it sank like a lead stone.

As for my fellow witches, they were obliged to treat me to as much sausage, bread pudding, and cream puffs as I could eat.

McGruff's Bridge Part 2 of 3

#Fanfic #WanderingWitch #ThreeBillyGoatsGruff
#Wss366 Hobgoblin

An hour passed, and Saya began to drowse. The water of the stream sang her a lullaby, and the sweet smell of grass lulled her senses. The troll had long disappeared from view, its camouflaged skin blending with the stone of the bridge.

“Ah,” she said and pinched herself as a witch with two long blonde braids approached. The gray road dust begrimed her white coat and brown pants. And as the Charcoal Witch had guessed, a cloud of tobacco smoke surrounded the new figure.

“Who’s that crossing my bridge?” the troll bellowed as the woman neared the center of the span. Both of the troll’s hands and a set of horns, like rotting stink horn fungus, appeared over the parapet. A lopsided head with hair like Spanish moss; gigantic, goggling frog eyes; and jagged yellow teeth soon followed.

“I’m Sheila, the Adventurer of Nike, and who wants to know?” the witch replied, blowing blue-gray smoke toward the face.

“Cough, I’m… cough, McGruff the… cough, Troll, and I’m going to eat you, Miss Nike.”

“You’re not my type, big boy,” the witch said and blew another cloud of smoke toward the troll. “But there is a fair maiden close behind me in black robes and a pointy hat, with ashen hair and amethyst eyes. Oh, and she has a witch’s star like this,” and she pointed to one pinned to her coat.

Puff, puff.

“And you might ask, Mr McRuffian, who this person is?” Sheila continued. “It is Elaine, the Ashen Witch.”

[That’s me, the Wandering Witch!]

“Cough, cough. You stink!” the troll gasped.

Shiela readied her wand. “Have at me, big boy!”

“I’ll wait.” Cough. “I’d rather eat a #hobgoblin than you.”

“Humph,” Shiela said and continued on her way. Upon reaching Saya, her eyebrows went up.

Saya waved to a grassy spot downwind of her and said, “Shall we wait and see what Elaine does?”

Shiela nodded and took a seat.

McGruff's Bridge Part 1 of 3

#Fanfic #WanderingWitch #ThreeBillyGoatsGruff
#Wss366 #Troll

Saya, the Charcoal Witch, hurried down the road, an urgent summons by the United Magic Association in her robes. Above, wheeled the country’s red and white Gulls. “Nasty creatures,” she said to no one in particular. “If it hadn’t been for you, I’d have finished this trip hours ago! I could have been flying, not walking.” She reached back and checked that she still had the tassel tying back her black hair. “Try to steal it, would you?”

The road she was on wound through a landscape of low scrub, climbing and falling as it paralleled the sea. The gray dust of the road had settled almost invisibly on her charcoal-gray robes but stained her black boots. Ahead lay the old stone McGruff’s Bridge, and a few miles beyond that lay the Three Goats Inn. White-walled, with a thick thatched roof, the inn would be warm. Saya dreamed of its smoky common room and the hot, steaming punch they served.

“D-mn gulls! If it weren’t for you, I’d be enjoying their punch with Elaina. She’s probably already there stuffing herself with their bread pudding and cream puffs.”

She turned to look behind her. Sheila, the third summoned witch, was just a dot cresting the ridge behind her. Saya could imagine the cloud of tobacco smoke that must surround her. It was going to be an interesting night when they all finally met up at the inn.

When she turned back, McGruff’s Bridge was in sight, its stone arch thick with lichen.

Hurrying forward, she was soon on it.

“Who’s that crossing my bridge?” came a booming voice from under her. At the same time, a mottled, gray hand the size of a dinner plate appeared on the edge of the parapet. It would have been hard to tell it from the lichen-encrusted stone if Saya hadn’t seen it appear.

“It’s little old Saya, the Charcoal Witch,” she responded and readied her wand.

“Well, Charcoal Saya, I am the #troll of McGruff’s Bridge, and I’m going to eat you.”

A second hand appeared with gnarled knuckles like walnuts.

“Mr. Troll, you don’t want to eat me. I’m small and have scrawny limbs like matchsticks. I would barely make a bite for you. But in a few years when I come back I will be nice and plump. Besides, another witch will be along in a moment, and she is full grown, tender, moist and juicy.”

“She is big?”

“Much bigger than I, sir.”

“She is tender?”

“Absolutely, sir. And sweet. Her teacher fed her nothing but milk, honey, and sweet baby vegetables.”

“Then you may pass, but I will expect you back in a few years.”

Saya hurried off the bridge and found a place to settle under an elm. The tree stood on a little hill and overlooked the bridge. Its rustling leaves blended with the rippling sound of water.

“What a delightful view,” she said. “This should be interesting.”

Prince Charming Part 2
#FanFic WanderingWitch #SnowWhite
#Wss366 Hedge / #GreeneryDay Japan

Ahead, light streamed through a honeysuckle-draped arch. The air was sweet with their scent, buzzing with the song of bees.

“Hum,” I thought and then laughed at my pun. It looked as though there was a grassy clearing ahead. The sun would feel nice there. I could lie in the grass and eat the bread I’d bought at the last town. But wait, there was someone already there: a tall, handsome man standing next to a proud horse. The man’s elegant hunter’s outfit made it clear he was some kind of noble—“too bad.”

He looked up, smiling. “Have you come to see her too?”

“See who?” I asked and approached cautiously, peering through the grass to see what he was looking at.

There, in the middle of the clearing, was a crystal coffin. Inside was a woman wearing a brown peasant dress. Among the wilted remains of wildflowers that someone had placed on the lid was a bouquet of fresh roses.

“Isn’t she beautiful?” the man said. “I could stroke her hair all day.”

“Yes, it’s lovely,” I said. It was too: an amber-brown, lightened in streaks by the sun.

“And you are?” I asked.

“I wouldn’t want the Queen to hear I came here, so you can just call me Prince Charming. Many people do.”

“So you visit often, Prince Charming?” My sarcasm went unnoticed. I had met nobles like him before. Their charm chiefly resided in the threat of violence. That and the power to wave away such aggression as the victim’s fault.

I hadn’t failed to notice the short silver hunting sword at his side.

“Yes, she is so lovely. How can I resist? I’ve named her Snow White. Doesn’t she deserve it?”

“She is quite lovely, Your Highness. But I hear that if you kiss a sleep enchanted woman, she will wake. Have you tried that?”

“I’ve heard the same, but youth’s beauty fades with time. The lovely bride of today is a wrinkled hag tomorrow. I will let her sleep so she never fades. A gem forever brilliant for me to view.”

The poppies and bluebells nodded in agreement; whether to my ironic thoughts or his statement, I didn’t know.

The honeysuckle odor had suddenly cloyed, and clouds cast shadows on the grass.

I smiled and departed. I could eat my lunch elsewhere.

Prince Charming Part 1

#FanFic WanderingWitch #SnowWhite
#Wss366 Hedge / #GreeneryDay Japan

The day had started well. A gentle wind scented with verdant greenery stirred my hair. Bright violets bloomed along my path, mingling with yellow buttercups and brilliant orange poppies. Thrushes and titmice flitted in the #hedges. It was truly the kind of day where wandering the byways was a goddess-given blessing.

So wondrous was the day that I didn’t even mind the occasional burr that attached itself to my mage’s robes or the dense foliage that forced me to walk. The moss-covered path was easy on my feet. The occasional brook sang to me. Butterflies as bright as the star brooch of my profession delighted my eyes.

Who was this young woman so enamored with life?

It was me, Elaine the Wandering Witch.
