My version of how the Beast was cursed in a retold opening for Beauty and the Beast. I hope you enjoy the chaos that is my telling. Plus critter pictures!
Things that annoy me? Oh, lots of things, but I bury them. I don't bring it up unless it has become continuous and egregious. And even then, I would rather walk away than attempt to continue a relationship because my father's early death taught me that life is too short, and emotional balance too precious, to engage with people of ill intent. 🤷♂️
I think that's why this week's tale resonated with me so much. The trade delegate was looking for things that upset her instead of making the attempt to understand the French nobleman's actions. On a bad day, I could see me acting far worse. 😔 But it would have to be a very, very bad day.
Loved the tale, Anna and Tod. 🙂 Scary as heck.

I just remembered. That one, we wanted a fairytale retelling of Beauty and the Beast, but wanted the Beast to be much more sympathetic. -Tod
Blondie and Darius Rucker both have song variations of, just go away. The Darius Rucker one was playing on the way back from dropping Anna off.
By the way, I loved all y'all's story in Minstrels in the Galaxy. 🫡
Thanks! We liked it to. We used the first parts as our sample for another editor's project.
