The Little Weremaid

Once upon a time, in the land of Forkes, there lived a beautiful princess named Bella. She was long betrothed to the Gorgeous Vampire Prince Edward of Transylvania, but alas, she did not love him.

Now Bella lived in a Magnificent Castle by the Sea. At night, she would sometimes go out on her balcony and look out into the waves, and wish she were free. Unbeknownst to her, the Sea teemed with strange creatures. One hundred years before, a young werewolf had been bitten by a mermaid, and so at every full moon, he would transform into a Weremaid: a hideous creature that resembled a wolf with the tail of a giant fish. The Weremaid married, and produced children that unhappily shared his affliction. Generations passed, and one hundred years later, the sea was filled with these horrible creatures at the full moon.

The Weremaids, ashamed of their hideousness, lived secret lives in the woods. Only at the full moon did they emerge, and cast themselves into the Sea to transform into their ghastly shapes. They were so ashamed, that they vowed never to make contact with an unblemished human.

But, as fate would have it, all was changed when a young Weremaid named Jacob looked out of the waters and glimpsed Princess Bella gazing at the Sea. Jacob saw her beauty, and he pined for her.

He vowed that he would speak to this fair maid. So, while his fellow Weremaids wallowed in self-pity at their hideousness, he slipped out of the water and splashed onto the streets. He took a Streetcar to the Magnificent Castle, and then, with his face to her window, called out, "HEY BELLAAAAAAAA!" Bella heard his voice, and it was the most beautiful voice she had heard in all her born days. She rushed to the window and saw Jacob splashing on the streets, and when she beheld his horrid appearance, she was inclined to vomit profusely and passionately, but then he cried out again, "BELLLLAAAAAA!" and the magnificence of his voice pierced her heart, and she flung herself out of the window and into his Weremaid's paws.

And then, they embraced in the street, and the stars seemed to sing for joy at their happiness, and the waves laughed at their pleasure, and everything was good and gold and glad.

But alas, and behold! In the midst of their passion, they forgot that they were in the middle of the street, and were hit by a garbage truck.

The End
