Heart pounding like a blacksmith's hammer, feet trembling like a tunning fork, hands shaking like a leaf ...
The fire engulfed the surroundings, dark flames rubbed and licked the air, smoke crawled into my nostrils, enraged roar striked to and fro, but I was stuck in the tower with absolutely nowhere to go. I looked on with terror as the dragon spited fire and I found myself staring at death right in its face.
Out of nowhere, I see a knight in shining armour fighting the dragon. He vigorously kicked the creature and stabbed into its body with an exceptionally large sword. Pain shrieks arose as its life dissipated, exploding into ashes.
He expertly climbed the tower like a mercenary on a rescue mission. I felt a halo of warmth as he wrapped me in his arms. I was saved! Just like a fairytale!
Somehow, by some freakily captivating ancient magic, true love manoeuvred its way into the depths of our beings- the instant we locked lips.
The emperor throws a big wedding feast for us the next day. And we live happily ever after.

The music echoing from the vintage music box jolted me out of my daydream.
The undiluted truth is that as I read more and more of these fairytales, I was mesmerized and wanted to live out my own, despite its Improbability in this new world that preaches about being miss Independent and rescuing oneself. I wanted my own Gen Z vision of an enthralling love story, etched in stone as a fairytale rolling on from on generation to the next.
Above is a gist of the story of Alison who wants to live her fairytale, but life shows her something that is completely opposite, but equally captivating.
