Overview | A Pointless Fairy Tale

The Bard looked down upon his captive audience. He walked across the stage, sweeping his arms up into the air and smiled at the children below as they wriggled in their parents' laps.

“Once upon a time... there was an enchanted land filled with damsels, dragons and dashing heroes. The kingdom was plagued with bandits, witches, wizards and the vilest monsters who lurked in the dark forests. It would be one much like MYSELF who would save the land from evil and a dangerous curse...”

“That's not right!” cried a child's voice from the back. The Bard glared at the child, but quickly returned to his story, louder than before.

“The leader of the bandits has made a pact with the monsters of the forest...”

“Uh-uh! You’ve got it all wrong!”

The Bard sighed heavily. “The king’s only daughter had been ferried away in the middle of the night to become the bride of the monster folk...”

“That’s not quite true.”

“Oh do shut up,”  groaned the Bard. “I AM THE STORYTELLER young man, not YOU.”

“Yes but you’re not telling it right. You're lying mister. Did you happen to mention the little beast-girl? Or the ugly-carpenter? No? What about...”

The Bard groaned once more, and set about teaching the child a thing or two about stories!

This is a tale of a story that refuses to told the way it’s meant to be.
