Genre: Fairy Tale, Fantasy
Excerpt:
When buds are twisted too tightly, they will never bloom
beautifully, my
grandmother always said, all the more so after she’d witness my
staying in my little corner of the room at a party in our house

know that I was surrounded by friends in my own world, in Castle
Farouche.
That is…I didn’t think she knew.
What’s the Word (that inspired the
story)?
Farouche: 1) fierce. 2) sullenly unsociable or
shy

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. At left, a girl in right profile with short hair, wearing pants and a hoodie, walks through an open door, the inside of which is black. The door swings out to the left. Behind it at an angle is a brick wall. Right side of image, just behind the door, a series of towers blurred behind a glowing hash mark design that gives the effect of distorted digital image on a screen.
