A Fairy Tale Lighter Than Air
©July 3rd, 2016
By Vijaya Sundaram
Pearl-grey light crystallized on my window. Weaving leaves on my loom, I awaited that which would break the spell cast upon me and the world by the Queen of Darkness.
And as I wove patterns more delicate than air, the air around me grew lighter. My heart quickening, I wove faster. I dreamed the sun, and wove it into my cloth. The bright green of Spring and the flowers of Summer glimmered into being, as my hands raced across the shuttle.
And then, I wove Her.
NO! she screamed, emerging angrily before me.
Slowly, I unwove her.
Only light remained.

I decided that I’d write a story that wasn’t about disappointment, lost hopes, sadness and the like this time around. Hope you like it!
