Love your writing, as always. This one's pretty in a quiet, delicate sort of way. Which is odd, given some of the macabre imagery, but then again, the original Grimms' fairytales have that atmosphere too. Just that yours has a bit more pretty and less gore ^^
It sounds like a mixture of Sindbad, The Six Swans, It's perfectly true, The red shoes, and some other stories I can't put my finger on right now. D: Very chilling how easily she can tell her story. Nice job. :D
The placid frankness and simplicity of your teller, and at the same time the faraway, mystifying feel as one imagines countless other things she does not reveal. This made me smile and smile and smile.
