Microfiction Monday #53 ~ where a picture paints 140 characters, or even fewer. Susan says:
Photos will be from my own archives; illustrations are from Dover Publications' free clipart sample newsletter.

Once my long hair won a prince's love.
I became his queen.
Now I'm bricked in!
Me! Rapunzel!
(Don't believe every fairytale you read!)
(140 characters)

Always love to know the story behind the fairytale.
Good one, I so enjoyed it.
Have a great week down under.
Aw, geez! So that's what happened! It just figures, doesn't it? Those men in power can be so darn fickle. :)
Ah, the truth out at last!! Great one for the day, Gemma! Hope you have a lovely week!

That's for sure! :O)
Great take on this week's prompt! Poor Rapunzel!
The truth will out. Good one, Gemma.

LOL :D! I like these "The Rest of the Story" fairy tales. If fairy tales were realistic, it might make little girls depressed.
Perhaps the princess missed the quiet and solitude the tower provided her; hopefully another princely gentleman will arrive to save her (but I doubt it)...LOL
Have a great week. Cheers!
Poor Rapunzel. Love can be cruel! :O)
From one prison to another. Poor Rapunzel. I love this new twist to a familiar story.
