House Sitter Wanted: April in our charming wooded cottage. A place for contemplation, close to hiking and river adventures. Feel free to entertain in our spacious three bedroom home.

Goldie pushed the door open. She’d expected a key under the rock near the entry. What a relief to find the house unlocked. The second surprise: There were three bowls of cereal on the table. Had the bears engaged her for a different time? She checked her phone. New mail. “See you April first. The Bears.” She sat down to rest, the cinnamon smell of porridge enticing her. They wouldn’t mind.

  1. Hi Monica — I love your fairy tale / fantasy rewrites — kind of like fractured fairy tales except recast in a friendly considerate way rather than broken. They always make me smile and rethink the original messages. Fairy tales for a new world 😉
