The Beast With Those Four Dirty Paws
100 Lyrics into Stories — No45
I was once a girl.
Once upon a time.
Before the witch got a hold of me and turned me into something I wasn't meant to be.
She wanted me out of the way, you see. I was no better than something under her boot. She saw me as a threat, and I paid for it.
Oh, indeed I did.
Now I look out with red eyes swollen from tears, snuffling at the air with a nose too strong from my once-human sensibilities.
I’m a mad creature, a sad fractal of being.
I don’t know how to exist anymore.
This is my third take on the 100 Story Challenge! Lyrics define these stories, and this piece‘s title was inspired by “Dirty Paws” from Of Monsters and Men.
