Spite & Splendor

Forget the Disney classic.

This Sleeping Beauty doesn't need a prince. She needs two masked men, one masked woman and enough sin to keep her awake.

Sinners Island is lawless, merciless and drowning in so much depravity even the Lord has turned his back.

I should know.

I came here willingly.

Now poison is stealing my memories, sleep is becoming deadly, and three monsters wearing blood-red masks are keeping me captive.

Their touches feel familiar.

Their voices make my body remember what my mind can't.

They don't want to save me.

They want to consume me.

And maybe I want them to.

The poison wants my memories.

They want everything else.

Disney gave Sleeping Beauty true love's kiss.

My version gives her three masked sinners and a reason to never close her eyes.

Sweet dreams, princess.

The nightmare is just getting started.
