STORY STARTER

Write a story from the perspective of a fairy-tale character after their ‘happily ever after’.

This doesn’t have to be limited to princesses, but could be other fairy tale protagonists such as Red Riding Hood or the Three Little Pigs.

How can this be happily ever after?

Who knew palaces were so full of bureaucracy? I mean, I’ve been training my whole life to slay dragons on the battlefield, but when I’ve got to slay them in a boardroom? No thank you. That’s literally not my area of expertise. Problem is… it’s what the people expect of me. Never mind that their princess just returned from fighting a war - a war against dragons, I hasten to add! - they can’t wait for her to restore order the old fashioned and senselessly boring way. Granting permits, writing treaties, settling disputes. This is my life now, bounced between departments like an ill-used ping pong ball. But how can this be happily ever after when I’m not even happy?
