A Fairy Tale Ending

Penelope has always been a girl outside her time, eighteen years old and yet living many years in the past, during a day when actual leather bound books could take one on a journey. She's a shy girl, spending her weekends alone, regularly dating only the random novels she finds at the old town library. One weekend though, her life is about to change.

During a stormy weekend, alone in the old town library, Penelope discovers a book... or rather the book discovers her. Unable to read much more of the title than the words 'Fairy Tales' Penelope sits down and begins to read, begins to let her mind journey into the pages of this mysterious novel. Three tales told through fairy tale styling, complete with morals, are found within; however these tales hold no morality and soon neither will Penelope.

Parodying much more well known tales, these are perversions Penelope has never even dreamed of and each one sends her further and further over the edges she never dared cross until finally Penelope finds a much more enjoyable way to spend her weekends in the library, a much more thrilling climax than the climax of any old book.

When reading, sometimes a book takes your mind to faraway places; sometimes the book simply takes your mind.
