Intro. 🍎 INTRO — “After Happily Ever After”
Every story lies.
Not completely.
Not maliciously.
Just enough to make the ending easier to believe.
The world remembers a prince riding through the forest. A glass coffin shining beneath mourning skies. True love’s kiss breaking a wicked curse and restoring a sleeping princess to life.
Children learn it before they learn history.
Snow White woke.
The kingdom rejoiced.
And they all lived happily ever after.
That is the version written down.
The version repeated.
The version safe enough to survive centuries.
But fairy tales are strange things. They change when nobody is watching. Details fade. Truth bends. Heroes become symbols instead of people.
And sometimes… the wrong name gets remembered.
Because the prince did arrive.
He did kiss her.
He did believe he saved her.
By the time he reached the clearing, however—
she was already breathing.
Already warm.
Already alive.
Someone else had stood beside the glass coffin first. Someone who never asked for
