Saturday Centus

I'm doing the Centus on time today! Huzzah! This week we're limited to 25 words, plus the prompt. Hmmmm.

The End

"Now what?" said Prince Charming.

"That dragon carcass is gonna smell," said the Princess. "You oughta clean that up."

Silence....

"Why'd I rescue you, again?"

I can't be the only one who thinks that the first night in the castle between Snow White and the Prince must have been pretty awkward, can I?

The beginning is "The End" and the end is only the beginning! LOL! Perfect wake up call!

Me thinketh that thy Princess is a royal pain! Loved this fun and amusing dialogue.

Very clever! I love fairy tales, even if some of them are very, very dark, in the original folk-tales.
Like the idea that "the end" is also "the beginning". You're quite the philosopher!

Darn, you are so smart. I should have used the prompt as the title! Arrrggghh!!! Why didn't I think of that!

This was a neat twisty read. I love these short little gems this week.

What fun reading!
