Only
when she was leaving did she notice it. A
nondescript wooden door that was painted a shade of purple, it stood in a corner
wedged between the crenelated stone walls.
A metallic chain was stretched between the walls as if to
indicate that the door was out of bounds.
“A door would have been nice”, she thought, casting her mind
to all those days when the only entrance she knew was the window.
She touched her hair and felt a twinge of remembered pain. She thought to herself, “Oh Rapunzel all that
pain! How did you miss this door?”

Dear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity she didn't see the door. It might have saved her a lot of neck and back pain. ;) Good twist on an old favorite.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Ah if only logic was involved. Thanks for your comments Rochelle.
DeleteHa... that was fun, all that pain... and darn the stupid knight who couldn't find the door.
ReplyDeleteOne way to check her commitment maybe ;-) Thanks for your comments Björn.
DeleteI agree with Bjorn. Maybe the night was near-sighted. :)

Risky manoeuvre. Had slipped he would have had a few nights in shining plaster. Thanks for your comments Russell.
