For Charlie: Murder Most Foul

[neverlose]

It's the dead of night, and in the middle of a forest, there's a cottage. It looks like something out of a fairy tale, with a thatched roof and cute little latticed windows, the whole shebang. One would never know that atrocities took place here.

After a while, a shadow detaches itself from the deeper shadows of the forest, and reveals itself to be Snow White. She's wearing old timey breeches and a shirt, and carrying a sword as she slips silently up to the cottage. The door is easy enough to jiggle open - it's not even locked, and she slips inside.

There is very little sound as she meticulously finds the seven little men, each in their beds, and kills every one of them. There is no struggle, none of them even wake before the blade pierces their hearts. Snow remains impassive, stone-faced, the whole time, and when it's finished, with no witnesses nor anyone alive who can place her at the scene, she simply slides back out into the gloom, cleaning the blade on the underbrush and making sure the door is latched behind her.

By the time the bodies are found and word spreads that the seven dwarves are dead, Snow White is safely ensconced in the palace and, as far as anyone knows, never left.
