Rumpelstiltskin (New England)

A Story by Abishai100

A mod-interpretation of that classic Bros.-Grimm dark faerie-tale of wrought ingenuities in the face of 'real' mystery.

An adaptation of that offbeat values-tale of Rumpelstiltskin (Brothers Grimm).

Do you know the special tale of Rumpelstiltskin? It's the story an eerie little imp who made a 'wage' challenge against an imprisoned lovely young woman who must spin straw into gold because of a false gossip circulated by her village-daddy and promises her this 'magic' if she gifts the imp her firstborn (child) but may escape the 'death-trap' if only she can 'guess' the imp's real (unusual) name (hmm). This 'dark' tale has inspired in many-an-artist interpretations-imagery concerning that strange hand-fiction and fortune-reading for the omens of wealth...and intelligence (hmm).

Flash-forward to the modern day New England 'town' of Boston (Mass.), where a capitalism 'insider' named Daphne works diligently to assert insurance-confidence and controls for the beloved trafficked city of the new millennium. Daphne had much 'discovery' for fortune/wealth securities and 'chess' and was approached (one day) while walking by the city-park/river by an unusual looking man who claimed he'd make her famous-enough on social media to assert (further) her 'chess-hand' with capitalism-race storyboards (for all).

RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Me fears you're a 'damsel' caged by the city's fortune(s).

DAPHNE: I suppose my 'hand' with chess makes me a 'red-sparrow' of Boston!

RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Excellence; I'll brighten your work(s) with city-line IQ.

DAPHNE: This sounds like a social media 'friendly' proposition, stranger.

RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Perhaps you'll post a photo-city share on my behalf!

Well, unfortunately, this 'stranger' who claimed his name was Rumpelstiltskin was (perhaps) the real imp of legend, come-to-life and returned to Earth to 'entreat' all the lore/art(s) made in his honor since his actual days/times of old. This stranger had promised Daphne great prestige for her daring/dangerous work(s) with capitalism-race 'chess' and then demanded she make him 'famous' (on social media), lest he cast her out of her 'gifted' throne of gold. Wow, suddenly Daphne wished she'd simply watched the movies/cartoons about Rumpelstiltskin on YouTube/social-media (hmm).

DAPHNE: I've a special cure to this malice you deliver to/for me, stranger.

RUMPELSTILSTKIN: What's this mysterious game you offer me (now), girl?
DAPHNE: I shall post on social media you're an 'avid-fan' of gold-candies!

RUMPELSTILSTKIN: What shall that serve (hmm)?
DAPHNE: Boston-town shall regard you as a 'messenger' of fortune's life.

RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Oh, for the 'good' of (all) Bostonians' metaphysics/imagery.

DAPHNE: Then, I shall be freed from my (own) bond, and continue my (own) work.

RUMPELSTILSTKIN: You've provided a 'wage' for New England's materialism (ok).

DAPHNE: Great fortune (and good social media too).

Daphne had 'weaved' her way out of her own death-trap created by this horrid stranger who may've been the real incarnation of Rumpelstiltskin, reborn with a new 'examination' for complication/mischief in fare-rich New England (Boston-town). After her flight of intuition, she met a blood-diamond operationalist of great comic-storyboard 'linked' materialism-IQ, a man who went by the 'cartoon' name Snake-Eyes (wow).

SNAKE-EYES: You say you 'escaped' from the hand of Rumpelstiltskin?
DAPHNE: You doubt my claim here, Satan.

SNAKE-EYES: Goodness; I guess I believe you, Daphne; I'm simply a skeptic.

DAPHNE: Alright; but you've encountered much social media 'traffic' faces.

SNAKE-EYES: I suppose this Boston-town may be 'ornamented' with masks!

DAPHNE: Let's (both) 'count' our good-fortune(s) for American matter.

Daphne married this hero-dude and prepared for him lovely Sunday-luchi brunches and afterwards would kiss him to remind him why she felt like he was that 'answer' to that darker-riddle of why/how she'd have to escape from the hand-write of that eerie Rumpelstiltskin 'stranger' of New England, an 'imp' with no forward charm(s) for capitalism-race hospitality image...or material.

DAPHNE: Wow, you're decorating our son's bedroom with a college-media 'ornament' design (for patriotism-coloring); seems I've found a 'prince' to replace a 'folding' materialist (ha).
