Flash Fiction #231 – Beggar Girl in the Woods

In the woods, a beggar girl came upon a fairy trapped in a net. She pulled it free.

“I’ll grant you one wish.”

She used her wish to help a gnome about to be gobbled by a troll.

In gratitude, the gnome gave her a jewel.

She used that jewel to pay for a chained unicorn’s freedom.

In gratitude it gave her a magic hair, which she used as a rope to pull an old woman from a hole.

A trap… set by a witch who ate disadvantaged children!

But this girl was poor in means…

not in friends.

Her allies killed the witch and made the girl a queen.
