Fairytale
Who would’ve thought
They’d make slippers out of glass
Who would’ve thought
She’d wear a pair
Spasm orgasm
Rapid pulsations
Grip her tiny feet
Rare elements of style
Or stupidity
All for one magical night with him
The enigma of pain and pleasure
Encased
Enclosed
Wanting to be released
So she ran away
At the stroke of midnight
Tumbling out
Into the spacious piazza
Leaving one glass atrocity behind
Took off the other
Now barefoot
Not looking back
Finally weightless
And free.

Ahhh Cinderella as a fairy… smiles… lovely, I’m glad she discovered she can fly.

This was really good! Fun, flirty, even a little naughty!!
funny how we endure and sacrifice so much for a fairy tale and then leave either wanting more or embracing the freedom…all in the name of love. poignant piece. great use of the words.

Thank you for the comment. Made me think why I wrote it in the first place. *blue funk this crazy Christmas season*
aha! now the real story comes out!

Freedom from fantasy.
nice take on Cinderella.
freedom from fantasy…or probably just a boring party
prince charming must have been snooze-worthy hahah.
I love how you thought this through. Remiinds me of a beautiful film:)

Possibly set somewhere in Italy because of the piazza. Even I can’t decide.
creative use of the prompt words.
and a refreshing take on the tale.
playful and creative…
Thanks Natalie!

Yikes. People will do a lot in the hope of onus magical night. K.
Yes… Cinderella or not.
Thats a really nice piece Jenni, very clever and the “enigma of pain and pleasure” is a treat!
Pain and pleasure, always a perfect combination don’t you agree?
Enchanting!
fairytales are beautiful …
beautiful…and inspiring writing prompts. heheh!
I assume the picture is a prompt you went by. This is a very good story– so much feeling and adventure, but it seems the best part is when the adventure is over. So often is that true in life.
I was surprised how you began with an erotic scene and ended on a more deeply emotional story of breaking free from the trappings of that scene and all its restrictions. You brought in that twist very skillfully, I think.
The picture is a writing prompt from The Sunday Whirl.
Thanks for the comment. It’s really flattering when I hear from fellow writers.
