“To find what you seek, unlock the castle doors. Precious beyond words. But only words will open the way.”
“Open sesame!”
“Abracadabra”
“Shazam”
No luck. Jane’s heart was trapped behind those doors and they’d made it a game. But she was good at games. Think! Hours passed. Then she remembered. Gandalf! Say friend and enter!
“Words!”
And her heart bound out the door.

Dear Tina,
Welcome to Friday Fictioneers. I couldn’t help but thinking of the miller’s daughter trying to come up with Rumpelstiltskin. 😉 Nicely done. I look forward to reading more from you.
Shalom,
Rochelle.

Thanks Rochelle. And as a side note I’m impressed by your ability to spell rumpelstiltskin! I’m copying off your comment and still messed it up twice!
