PURE COINCIDENCE (ALMOST A TRADITIONAL TALE) [RRL]

It becomes clear, as the years go by, why traditional tales choose to tell any story from an omniscent narrator. Let’s give it a try.

Once upon a time, there was a land of lands where three groups of people could be found. The groups were very unlike each other, but fraternally bound by their degree of deafness. Yet the first divorcing attitude was insinuated by those who preferred to keep quiet. Keeping quiet may imply a peculiar risk: to push the reincarnation of that solitary onanist who outstood in the ancient Egyptian tale. The loud-mouthed followed.

On their side, the loud-mouthed fell apart in two subgroups: the “Sleeping Beauties”and the “Wicked Stepmothers”. Obviously, the first, being above righteousness, badmouthed their critics because they made impossible for them to enjoy the reveries. Waiting for the charming prince’s kiss, amidst the others’ criticism, turned their lives into a nightmare. Besides, obviously, the second group, upon the criticism lavished unto them, practically tasted some typical wicked stepmother’s resentment, since the reveries at hand became barren. The unavoidable magic mirror gave them in return the image of circus wrinkled bearded lady. There might be a fourth group. 

It seems worthless to discuss the very few who tried to stay a float after having jumped into the abyss. There is no worst deaf person than the one who does not want to hear (for instance, readers facying themselves as talk-show commentators) . So, every group had lived happily ever after, in their own way.

Any resemblance with psychicosocial reality is pure coincidence.
