A Fairytale's End
My grandfather saw my efforts and quietly arranged resources behind the scenes.
I had traded his concern, and my irrecoverable injuries, for Sienna’s starlight.
Now, she abandoned me.
What a cosmic joke.
The next day, Sebastian accompanied me back to the old house my mother had left behind.
It was the place I grew up. The courtyard was once bloomed with roses she had planted herself.
Now the gate was wide open, and the roses were withered to dust.
Stray dogs wandered through the yard.
Piles of trash festered in the corners, stinking to high heaven.
