Part 1
Part 2
Once our hero had arrived at his destination, he instantly decided that he wouldn't fit in. He couldn't make an approach to anyone, as they had already formed their factions, so he decided to travel outwards. He walked in the woods, alone from the world around him, searching for both something and nothing at the same time.
Eventually, he found something.
In a clearing shaped like a guillotine, a girl sat crying. Normally our hero would avoid such a thing immediately, but something drew him in.
"What's the matter," he asked, still unknowing of whether he wanted to hear the answer or not,
"I...I don't know," said the girl,
"what's your name?"
"I don't know, what's yours?"
"I...don't think I know either," He stopped, trying to imagine a world in which he knew who he was, another question came upon him, "are you lost?"
"...yes" The lost girl said.

The Ultimate Teen Fairy Tale (Part 2)
The lost boy was far from alone, yet he was lonely. He did not understand how "the one" could disguise themselves so well, he often wondered if "the one" was just in hiding, or maybe he just hadn't found them at all. Our hero often searched the lands around his home, but knew in his heart that this would not be enough. His princess was most definately in another castle.
Of course, all fairy tales must traditionally have a villain, usually in the form of a witch or giant. Ours is simply a voice. The voice finds power in words, more power than any fist or sword can provide, It makes frequent attacks on our hero, all it has to do is tell him that he is weak, and weak he becomes.
One day, it was announced that our hero was to be sent away for a week, with only his mobile phone to keep in touch with all those left behind in his home town. Alas, none of them had credit. The lost boy decided to take this oppurtunity to make new friends and distract him from his quest. What he found, was something else.

The Ultimate Teen Fairy Tale
I feel like I should write something to go up on here, as well as Rob and Jen. So here we go, a story written specifically for my blog!
The Lost Boy and The Extended Metaphor - Part 1
Once upon a time, there was a boy who was lost. He was lost because he didn't really know where he was going, all he wanted was to know the true identity of the mysterious figure known only as "the one".
In a previous adventure our hero (if you can stretch to call him that) settled down with Beauty. However, over time it became apparent that Beauty was in fact the Beast, and she cast him into a deep, dark pit she liked to call despair. Luckily for us, our hero was stronger than even he expected, bent and broken as he was, he did not want to join the bodies of those lost there before him and climbed out. This was a long and strenuous task that lasted many months, at various points we did not expect our hero to make it. Alas, he finally overcame the tantalising encounters with Beauty and the brutal attacks from the Beast, and was able to stand on his own two feet once again. Unfortunately, this did not change the fact that he was lost.
To be continued...
