Tell me a story, Mama.

"Mama, will you tell me a story?""Which one would you like to hear?""...The one with the key." She beamed."Darling, that's at least four of them alone. You have to specify. " I chuckled."The one with the cards, funny men and the cherry blossoms.""Oh, that one. I suppose you're old enough." My gaze shifted down. I hadn't told that tale in a long time. "Well, if I tell you that tale there are a few more pieces of the story you must know.""Such as?" She questioned."Well, there was a fox, twelve gems, an important revolver hand gun, a masquerade mask, and a man. A cunning, cruel, handsome, strange, kind man.""Anything else of importance?"I paused for a moment. "Yes, a few pomegranate seeds.""Pomegranate seeds! Nah, wait! How are pomegranate seeds relevant to that plot?!" She squealed."Very actually, my darling child. Here, take your dinner and drink then go rest by the fire place, let's start from the beginning. Black, white, and grey. Everything was- is black, white, and grey."◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

The thing about "Tell me a story, Mama." is the fact that the main character is (In theory) You. This is a reader insert where you simple tell a child a story, right? Sure.....just as simple as that.....nothing more, at all. {Now I am going to tell you the main character is a cisgender woman. It is what I am most familiar with and can write most accurately and respectfully. I don't wanted to portray anything inaccurate or offensive so if I don't know I won't write until I have done research and full understand what I am writing. So there will be use of she/her pronouns. So if that's not your thing just keep vibing somewhere else, which is fine stay safe and healthy.} Anyway, let's continue to the story.
