Wonderful- what an epic tale with a modern message. It reminded me of The King’s Breakfast

Well you’re certainly in a position to step into the breach! Perhaps I could with my other pen name (vanilla, fantasy, cosy)

Oh totally! Hahaha. It’s a good break too so you’re not having to constantly come up with endless ideas for the horror stuff haha

You delivered 10 fold. This piece is great . You should submit this piece. A Hero's journey. The monster at the end of the story. And a princess ready to take the world on her own. This was fun, entertaining,and F-ing great. I can't express how much this hits. Thanks for the read. I need to write.
