Pomegrania
A Modern Version of Rapunzel
Once upon a time in the booming, bustling and enchanted city of Los Angeles, there lived a married couple who loved each other very much. The wife, a young woman of 24, was strikingly beautiful. Her smile possessed all the warmth of the Santa Monica Beach on a warm summer day. Her body had all the curves of Mullholand Drive. Her eyes sparkled like the lights of the city at night. She was truly stunning and her husband was very happy to have her. He, a young man as well, was an up and coming filmmaker, struggling to make it in the industry. While he didn’t have much, he devoted his whole life to making his wife happy.
However there was one thing, both the wife and the husband wanted, that they did not yet get; a child. The wife would make endless trips to fertility doctors in Beverly Hills, all of whom told her she was completely prepared to be a mother. She waited and hoped and prayed for a child. She became terribly sad, and her husband vowed to make her happy.
One day, when the wife was sitting by the window of her third story apartment, something caught her eye. Across the street of Sunset Blvd from the couples apartment was the mansion of Doris Fefe von Wafflegotten. Ms. Von Wafflegotten was terribly rich, and had a huge estate, with many flowery gardens, and several crisp swimming pools. A former model and actress, her career fell when the tabloids got hold of some unflattering information concerning her extracurricular activities. It was rumored she was a powerful sorceress, who sold her soul for fame and fortune. While her career had long passed, and she had already reached the age of 60, her looks still remained. Her porcelain skin rarely saw the light of day as she rarely went outside. Instead she stayed in her mansion alone, performing whatever secret witchcraft she was involved in.
On her property, in the northern garden that faced the apartment of the young wife, Ms. Von Wafflegotten had a large orchard of citrus trees. On this very day the wife noticed the vast amount of fruit on all the trees. She became very hungry looking at the trees and desired to eat one of the fruits.
That evening when her husband came home from interning at the studios, she told him of the large amounts of fruit available at the mansion across the street. She told him how badly she wanted a piece of the fruit from the trees. The husband, wanting very much to please his wife, agreed to sneak across the street, tiptoe around the security cameras, crawl up the wall and retrieve a piece of fruit for his wife.
That night when the sun went down, he made his way across the street and into the garden of the mysterious sorceress. With much effort he climbed the wall, slid down into the garden, and ran into the orchard. He grabbed as many pieces of fruit from the first tree he saw and quickly made his way out of the garden.
When he returned home and dropped all the fruit on the table in front of his wife, he saw he had gathered a dozen pomegranates. The wife was very happy, and decided to eat on a day for the next 12 days. She did so, savoring each delicious fruit, each morning. On the twelfth day when she went to eat her piece of fruit she felt rather strange, but then just lied down, and ate her fruit. At a leap of faith she decided to take a pregnancy test. To her surprise and delight she was pregnant. She swore it must have been the magical fruit from the garden of Ms. Von Wafflegotten.
That night when her husband came home, she told him the good news. He was thrilled and happy for his wife. They resided in joy, but the wife still had craving for more of the delicious fruit. That night the husband again, when the sun went down, snuck across the street, avoided the security cameras, climbed over the wall and ran into the orchard.
But that night the mysterious Ms. Von Wafflegotten had decided to stroll in her large gardens, gathering special herbs for her spells. She saw the husband and immediately called her guard dogs to attack him. Scared for his life, the husband climbed the closest tree to him, and hung on in fear. Ms Von Wafflegotten, stood at the bottom of the tree and demanded the husband give back what he was trying to steal. She threatened to have him arrested for trespassing and robbery. Worse she said she would blacklist him in Hollywood and swore he would never get a job ever again. The husband begged her not to and pleaded and bargained, offering anything she desired.
The lonely old Sorceress was wise and insightful, and knew the husbands wife had become pregnant. She knew that the beauty she possessed would most likely transcend to the child. She wanted his child. She bargained with the husband, who agreed and quickly signed away his wife’s womb.
When he returned home, he told his wife the story and agreement to which she became crushed. She lied in her room for three days weeping. She knew it was most likely the sorceresses magic the brought the baby, so she realized she must give it to her.
9 months later, at Cedar Sinai Hospital, a beautiful baby girl was born. Ms. Von Wafflegotten quickly came and snatched the child, and then drove off in her dark black Mercedes. Ms. Von Wafflegotten named the child Pomegrania, after the fruit that had caused her conception, and the fruit that brought her to the sorceress.
The child stayed in the mansion of the fallen star until her twelfth birthday. Feeling threatened by her beauty Ms. Von Wafflegotten decided to lock Pomegrania
In one of her many properties downtown, in the deserted factory district. Pomegrania was trapped in an abandoned building on the 9th floor. There were no doors to the building, no stairs and only one window. Pomegrania, however, possessed long golden hair exactly the length of the 9 story building.
The mysterious and now apparently more evil Ms. Von Wafflegotten would come and check on Pomegrania everyday. She’d drive her dark black and now apparently more evil Mercedes down Sunset Blvd. to the warehouse district of downtown. She’d walk through the alleyways of the abandoned building, past the homeless men and women living in their poverty, to the lone 9 story building that possessed Pomegrania.
When she would arrive she’d call out to Pomegrania “Pomegrania, Pomegrania, let down your hair!” Occasionally if Pomegrania would be sleeping, Ms. Von Wafflegotten would have to dial Pomegranias mobile phone to inform her of her arrival. When informed, Pomegrania would unwrap her long beautiful hair from her French imported designer hair wrap, dangle her flowing locks out of her window and allow the evil sorceress to climb up.
Pomegrania was terribly unhappy in her life. The only activity that gave her any pleasure was singing. All day and all night, whenever she was awake and her evil guardian was not present, Pomegrania would sing. She’d sing the songs she heard form top 40 radio. She’d sing, and sing, to the delightment of all the impoverished homeless people below her. Though often her voice was heard, no person ever knew from where, as the building she was in had no doors, and only one window, and was perceived to be abandoned.
One day, a young handsome and rich man was walking through the alleyways of the factory district. Fredrick Nico Snuffingaufolus was the heir to a fast food fortune. He lived in a hamburger shaped mansion in the Hollywood hills, spending his day’s spending money and looking for love. On this particular day, he was attempting to do some good deeds by handing out money and food to the poor homeless people residing in the alleyways between the abandoned buildings and warehouses. As he passed by the tall abandoned building with no doors and only one window, he happened to hear the most beautiful voice he had ever heard. He looked around, but saw no one. He inquired to an elderly homeless women, as to where the beautiful music was coming from. She told him it was the spirits of the women of the streets. Realizing that the woman very well may have a mental disorder, the young Snuffingaufolus searched and searched for the source of the voice. When he couldn’t find it, and it began to get dark, he went back home, vowing to return each day until he found the voice.
Day after day he returned, until one day he saw Ms. Von Wafflegotten, and proceeded to follow her. He witnessed her call up to Pomegrania, saw the beautiful hair being let down, and saw the evil ex movie star climb up the building. Finally realizing where the voice must be coming from, and how to reach the source for the young voice, Fredrick hid in the alleyway until the sorceress left. Once she left, he called out to Pomegrania to let down her hair. While she was confused and slightly scared, Pomegrania in her naivety and loneliness allowed the young heir to climb up to see her.
She instantly fell in love at the sight of him, as he became enraptured at the sight of her. He immediately offered marriage to the young beauty, who was so overwhelmed in her lust for him, agreed on the spot. They embraced, and quickly derived a way to get her to escape the tower and the evil sorceress.
Fredrick and the soon to be Mrs. Pomegrania Snuffingaufolus, devised a plan where the young heir would visit his new love every night when Ms. Von Wafflegotten was gone. He would bring with him each night a little bit of silk he would buy in the Fashion District each day. Pomegrania would weave a long ladder for herself In order to be able to climb down. The plan was foolproof.
But before it could be executed, Pomegrania, in her ignorance mentioned to Ms. Von Wafflegotten how tight her Italian silk dress had gotten around the belly. Ms Von Wafflegotten in her great knowledge soon realized, with help also from the mobile telephone bill, that Pomegrania was being visited nightly by a man, and was now with child. Ms. Von Wafflegotten in all her evilness soon devised a plan of her own.
The next day when the young heir came and called out to Pomegrania, the long beautiful locks of hair were let down for him to climb. He made his way up, but when he reached the single window, instead of finding his young love, he found the evil sorceress, and ex movie star and model, Doris Fefe von Wafflegotten. Ms. Von Wafflegotten cackled at him and told him he was never to see his love again. Overwhelmed and saddened by the idea, he quickly turned out the window and fell 9 stories to the ground, where he suffered brain injury that greatly impaired his vision.
For the next several months, he wandered the streets of Los Angeles as a beggar. Blind and depressed he had no will to live. Little did he know his young wife was living in a studio apartment in Silverlake with his twin children. One day, when he wandering through the Fairfax Flea market, he heard a beautiful voice. Overwhelmed with happiness he followed his ears, yelling out “Pomegrania, Pomegrania, my love, where are you?” Pomegrania soon heard him, and ran up to him, hugging and kissing and crying in joy for such a splendid reunion. Her tears fell upon his face, and magically restored his eyesight and cured any damage to his brain.
The young couple were so happy, and so in love. The young heir went back to Pomegranias apartment, seized his children into his arms and took his family back to his hamburger shaped home in the hills, where they lived happily ever after.
