Sleeping Beauty 4/4
"Mum?"
My eye flicks open for a last time outside. A rural verge. Cow Parsley. Rose Briars. Thistles. The hedge should hurt me. I'm wedged in it. Hard thorny branches all around but I feel nothing except peaceful.
"On three!" the lady says.
I'm lifted, taken away. My prince taking me then. On his horse across the forest and I can smell my favourite teddy. And hear my dad. Not singing now. Crying. For me to come back.
I'm here Daddy. Why are you crying?
It's my Birthday. I'll be back later- Mum's done a cake.
Happy.
Today's the day.

Seeing the tags, I'm so glad I read 'coma'. This is a disturbingly brilliant mini-series, Lisa. I'll be driving very slowly to the swimming pool later!... Your work and style is terrific!

Awww thanks! Had a bit of time today so I've scheduled few more fairytales for next month. Not all as bleak! Although one bleaker X

Loved this mini series Lisa! Couldn't wait to read the next one, then the next. Brilliantly written and hard-hitting. They should give this to all new young drivers to read!! x
