Shanley

Goldie, thank you for the happy ending of this nice story. To be quite honest, I have been reading it out of breath to see if i don't get thrown into the abyss. Well, not me, Shanley the character, lol.

Queen/Chef Shanley 210 including title and ending. Dedicated to Shanley.


Once in a land of certainties was a Queen named Shanley.
She loved to cook. She owned a spatula made by her mother. Her mother accepted her love of cooking, while her dad didn’t. He found it irritating that she wanted to be a chef, not a Queen. She longed to stick out her tongue at him, but that is not the way a Queen should act. She was very prudent, if that is the right word. Her father said to Shanley, “If you can prepare a perfect cake, I’ll let you live your dream. If you can’t cook, and refuse to be Queen, off into the abyss you go. Worthwhile, if you do make it, you will be the kitchen’s chef.”5 days later, on a windy day, Shanley was in the kitchen, kindles shaking, preparing the cake. She took it out of the oven and decided it was moist enough. The essence was heavenly. She iced it and decided it was ready. She took it out and crossed her fingers for good luck. The King had a little gold dining chair and table set out for him. He loved the cake and Queen Shanley became Chef Shanley and a good one at that.

Congrats, Midnight! Well-deserved! I always enjoy all of your writings, and can't wait to see your word list! It's been busy around here, so I hope I get enough time to write, but even if I don't, I always like to read what everyone else has written.
