Fairy Tale Rules
Flash Fiction
If you believe, keep it
to yourself.
Glances at things that
you think you see are permitted but stares are NOT.
If you find yourself
lured over to the other side, then take heed of these rules.
1: You will probably meet
a small creature with long fuzzy ears and tail. He will be wearing a key around
his neck. He will want you to go with him and help him unlock something.
Do not go.
2: Keep on the path ahead
of you. Never stay off. The bright flowers that lure you to them are not what
they appear. Keep your eyes ahead at all times.
3: You will come to a
small cottage and you will not be able to go around. The path goes through it.
So knock at the door. A friendly witch will answer and when she smiles, say
“The key is in the oak tree.” She will then let you through.
4. When you go out the
back door, there will be three paths to take. Choose the one on the right. It
will lead to the main path again. An overwhelming desire to go straight will
tug at you. Fight it and go right.
5. Keep going on this
path and every song and whisper that you hear, try to block it out. They know
you are near. The one sound that you do want to hear is the sound of a gurgling
creek. You will need to cross it.
6. There will be someone
there to help you cross. Reach into your pocket and give him the three seeds
you collected in your garden the day before. He will then help you.
7: Remember to thank him
when you get to the other side. He will wish you a safe trip. This is
important. His words will keep you safe.
8: You are almost there
but not quite. A strange beautiful creature with butterfly wings like you’ve
never seen will come out of the woods to greet you. Stay focused because if you
are mesmerized by him, all will be lost and you will never leave.
9: A quick glance is all
that is permitted, remember?
10: If he talks to you,
his voice will sound like a beautiful bird song or feel like a warm summer
breeze against your face. Close your eyes and keep going.
11: Now you see the end.
It is a special door overgrown with ivy but you can see it. Now take note.
Remember that creature that you saw at the beginning with the key around his
neck?
12: He will once again
want you to help him unlock something. This time nod. Out of his pocket he will
take a special locket. Help unlock it.
13: When he opens it, he
will hand you another key. Accept it and open the door.
14: When you go through,
give him the key back and do not forget to say thank you and have a nice day.
