The Prince
She knew who he was, though she had never met him. She dreamed
of him often. He was the sun to her moon, the end to
her story, the kiss to wake her from sleep. His name
had been Jack, or John; and he had blue eyes. This much she remembered. She
could not say how long she had been sleeping, and so did not know how long it
would be until forever ended and he would arrive at last, radiant like a god,
his armor discarded. He would not need it with her, once the witch
was vanquished. The thorns would fall from her roses
at his touch. What was his name?
