Dedicated to my cousin Evelyn
Once there was a family. They had three children. Their names were Eve, Cooper, and Lexon. While they were wandering in the forest, Eve told them that there once was an old castle on the spot of the forest. She said that the castle was overtaken by a mob of thorns. Eve said that the only remains of the castle were some old stones and the thorns.
“Anyone who gets close to a Thorn Monster will be surrounded and overtaken by thorns.”
“So?” replied Cooper. ”What if you had a knife and cut them down?”
“They will just grow before your very eyes.” Eve told him gravely.
“I believe you, Eve.” Lexon said.
”Thanks, Lexon.” replied Eve.
“We’ll see about that.” Cooper muttered to himself.
The next day, Cooper took his pocket knife and went to a thorn monster. He walked right into the thicket of thorns. “ Yea right, Eve” he said to himself. All of a sudden, the thorns just grew faster than he had seen anything grow. Soon Cooper was gone in the thorns. His family never saw him again.
