The New Snow White, Part 4 - Final


Days go past and the mirror is once again forgotten. Grimhilda is as happy as a pig in shit but of course the “sad” business of Snow’s funeral had to be taken care off. The afternoon after the funeral Grimhilda heard a familiar voice in her head. “How sure are you?” the voice of the mirror asked her in her head. She stormed off to her chambers. When she entered her chambers she again heard the voice, but this time she heard it with her ears “How sure are you?”
She gazed into the mirror but saw only her own reflection.  “How sure am I about what? I don’t understand what you mean” Grimhilda screamed into the air holding her hands in fists of anger. Then the voice responded “You are not asking the correct question.” Grimhilda panted and wanted to bash her hand against the mirror. Then as if flipped by a switch she composed her herself completely and she was once more the picture of a Lady.
“Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful of them all?”
As always her image starts to blur and the dark clothed man stares back at her. “You my Queen are as beautiful as ever. A true pleasure to behold. But deep in the dark woods there is a girl with skin as white as snow, that challenges everything that you hold dear.”
The Queen screamed! Picked up her chalice and threw it at the mirror. The mirror broke into hundreds of pieces but as it shattered it moved back to fix itself. She got a fright and stumbled backwards. “The error of the life of Snow White is not my doing. I suggest you take it out on the one that did not do as he was ordered.”
The next morning, George, the Huntsman was beheaded for high treason.
In the next few days Grimhilda had learned that Snow had become cozy in the house of 7 midgets. Rumour has it that they are struggling to make ends meet and that things for the 8 of them are rather strapped. The queen decided to send  merchant on route to the decrepit home. He was to befriend Snow and get her hooked on crack or acid or coke, either would do.
As the weeks passed the merchant reported back that Snow was a junkie. From this moment on they would charge her for every ounce that she was taking. At a low price at first of course and include a six pack of some booze and slowly the price would also go up and the quantity would become less and less. The midgets only allowed Snow a certain weekly budget and soon she found that sustain the habit she had to have sex with them for more money. But as most men do, the midgets grew tired of her and kicked her out to roam the streets for money and some form of life.
Through the magick of the mirror the Queen rained for another hundred years. They became very good friends. Every so often the Queen would ask her mirror. “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful of them all?” Please with the outcome the queen celebrated.
Now legend goes that this the way that drugs came into the world. And this way snobby little prissy bitches like Paris Hilton and Brintey Spears would be punished for being overindulgent and ungreatful. It is said that Snow lived forever. Hers was the curse to live forever under the rule of the Queen and her children that she had. ………… Which children? Well lets just say that even though the mirror could not completely be freed, as you know some parts of him could, as long as his heart was inside the mirror.
So next time you are stopping at a traffic light and a very ugly, very old, crack whore begs for money, remember, that could be Snow White.
