When the slipper doesn't fit
Cinderella's tale has gone wrong
It didn't fit. How could this be? She was the one who went to the ball in the pumpkin coach, with a dress of floating stars and a lizard footman. This was her slipper!
"I'm sorry, miss. You'll have to let someone else try."
She pulled the other shoe from her apron pocket and found a tatty ballet pump, not a glass stiletto.
She turned and saw her wicked stepmother smirking, holding the fairy godmother's wand, which was smoking at one end. What did she do to her godmother?
Cinderella wasn't going to let this happen. She would fight back...

Paper Roses
I collect them. I didn't mean to, but once I started, I couldn't stop. Each time I went on a cruise, there would be a handsome waiter, young enough to be my grandson who would flirt with me as if I was twenty-one and breathtaking. They just wanted a big tip but who cares?

Go Tell it on the Mountain by James Baldwin
Published on the 18th of May, 1953, ‘Go Tell it on the Mountain’ became the book that James Baldwin is probably most famous for. Including the very real impacts of violence upon the African American community during a time of turbulence for Civil Rights, James Baldwin became an absolute superstar not just of his race, but of the oppressed in every situation, in every country, all over the world. From Palestine to the Civil Rights Movement, from the LGBTQA+ to Muslim Migrants from war-torn countries, James Baldwin is the voice of the oppressed not just through the way he presents the division, but the way he presents a reality that the oppressors could not possibly be aware of. A reality in which every day is a fight to survive. What makes this even more real is that this is a semi-autobiographical novel. In my personal opinion, James Baldwin was the most articulate man in history.
