Comments on 'Castle by the Sea'Living in a castle by the sea is not as magical as you think. Yes, it's lovely here. Yes, the water is wonderful. Yes, the clouds part & the sun kisses my lashes and birds sing and, every now and then, a dragon swoops by for a visit.
But do you understand how incredibly boring it gets? No ships sail by because of that damn dragon & the waters are so deep that fish rarely come to the surface. Entertainment? Please. You hear one mermaid song, you've heard them all. And they are _awful_. If you've never heard of the lake effect, let me enlighten you: it's damn cold up in here.
I don't even have something to look forward to like a warrior queen coming to release me from a curse or an evil step-father. I'm not under a curse. My father's pretty much a pushover. No one even thinks of coming here to save me from my boredom. Particularly not beautiful women with swords & flying horses. Sometimes I consider faking a curse or tyranny or something just to get some company.
So yeah, castle by the sea? Not so awesome.2008-03-07T18:56:45Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/23409Comment on Castle by the Sea<p>shattered the image of the classic fairy tale castle life.. bravo. witty.<br />LoA</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/23409?basename=462302008-03-07T18:56:45ZSKermitgorfhttp://ficlets.com/authors/kermitgorfComment on Castle by the Sea<p>Hilarious send-up of the fairy tale genre, I thought. I liked the line about if you’ve heard one mermaid song, you’ve heard them all.
