Life's Like a Fairytale

 Leo's challenge was to write a post that started with
"Happily ever after" and ended with "Once upon a Time".
Leo, here it goes...



"Happily ever after", two-year old Yashini repeated as her Mom finished the fairytale.

"Ma, were you the beautiful princess and Pa the handsome prince?", her innocent voice rang from between the sheets.

Her Mom bent down and kissed her. The day she got divorced flashed across her eyes. "Yes darling, once upon a time."

  4. Ah! Apala! That was wonderful. 55 fiction and u manage to invert the normal opening line (Once upon a time) and closing line (happily ever after!) of fairy tales..superb!
