JUST POSTING THIS HERE AS I TYPE IT. IT'S DUE IN CREATIVE WRITING ON TUESDAY.
Once upon a time, in a land 20 miles away, lived a man and his drug-addict wife. It took him years after the marriage to discover that his wife was an addict, though she always thought he knew what she meant when she said "rapunzel." The man was strangely okay with his wife's choices; all he wanted out of the marriage was a son. After the couple's ninety-seventh attempt at conceiving a child, the wife fell gravely ill... too ill to contact her supplier, so she asked her husband to do it. She begged him.
He agreed.
When he met the supplier, he found her to be an unbelievably beautiful woman, and sinful desires flooded his mind.
"I need to buy some rapunzel for Lucy Greene," he studdered. He couldn't help but add in "you're beautiful."
"That's the power of PineSol, baby! I mean, err, rapunzel."
The man was shcoked. "You mean that if my wife keeps using rapunzel she'll look as stunning as you?" The man removed his wallet from his blue jeans.
"That's correct, but I require a different currency today. Your baby will do splendidly."
"What?"
"You know, sir. 'I'm a big kid now.'"
"I know what a baby is!" The man then had an epiphany, and he discovered he truly did love his wife, and he would give up a son in order to have her addiction fed. "I just meant that my wife and I have had trouble conceiving."
"Not for much longer." She handed him all the rapunzel his wife could ever ask for along with a white bottle.
"Viagra?"
"Trust me."
The man went home. He and his wife made another attempt that night, and nine months later the woman came looking for a child. She arrived just as it was born and just as the mother died. The man didn;t give a fuss; the baby was female.
"What should I call you when I speak to my friends about where my baby is? I'm Benji."
"You can call me Glory, but it won't matter." She pulled out a shotgun and killed the man. "You'll be speaking to no one of this."
********************
"Pepsi, for those who think young." Glory set the drink down on the night stand. Although years had past, she never aged. The baby, however, did. Rapunzel was now fifteen years old, but she'd never left that bedroom. On numerous occasions she'd ask why she couldn't go outside. "No one can know you exist" was the answer. When Glory left the room, Rapunzel sat staring out the window as she always did. But today, the busy city street was different. In the midst of the bustling crowd stood a handsome boy her age, looking up at her.
The boy was signaling her to open the window. Rapunzel knew Glory's schedule, and knew she wouldn't be back upstairs for a few hours. She opened her window. "Who are you?" she called down.
"My name is Anthony. Can I come up?" His voice carried through the crowd yet no one noticed.
No one had even seen her before! This was new. "I... I can't let you in the door."
Anthony thought for a moment. "Is your hair long?"
"Fifteen years long."
"Throw it out the window."
Rapunzel worried about doing what he said, but curiostiy got the best of her. She threw her hair out the window. Then her scalp began to bleed. "Ow! What the Hell do you think you're doing?!"
"Climbing your hair." He'd jumped off by now. "I want to be closer to you. I want to see every detail of your face."
"Then use the ladder! And huh?" Anthony saw that to the right of the vertical line of windows was a long set of metal bars that formed a ladder. These were used to clean the windows on the second through fourth floors.
********************
The past few hours had been different for Rapunzel. Anthony was very... charming, if that was the word. By "the word", I am of course referring to what he called himself. No, there wasn't a prince before "charming" in his sentence. Rapunzel had her first kiss, and she loved it. It was followed by at least a dozen more.
But it couldn't last for long. When Glory came back into Rapunzel's room, Glory smelled cigarette smoke. The smell alerted her to the changes in Rapunzel's attitude, and she became enraged. Taking a metalic high-heel off, she beat Rapunzel unconcious.
********************
When Anthony left Rapunzel, he hurried home, eager to tell his parents what happened. But he found them packing bags full of unfolded clothes. They were running away and he was going too. They would hide in the desert for a month or two.
"But, why?"
"Honey, your father robbed a bank."
"Oh... sweet."
The family hadn't even been on the road for a quarter of an hour when they crashed into another vehicle. Both parents died and the boy was labeled crazy.
********************
Rapunzel woke up in an asylum two days after she met Anthony. She wasn;t the only one in the room. He was there too. He sat int he corner of the room annoying the air with mutterings of having been pushed out a window and dropped into the dark. Rapunzel rushed over to him and held him. As his face was planted firmly in her chest, the problems he was experiencing with his eyes seemed to heal. He looked up at her.
"Are we there yet?"
"Where?"
"It doesn't matter. If you're with me, this must be heaven... waitm what's your name again?"
