What if Snow White Part III


So what if the 7 dwarves were not as hospitable as they seemed? What if they were all scary little midgets who were looking for a housekeeper and more?

Result: Snow White being as exhausted and pretty low in self-esteem as any girl whose step-mother hates her and is wanted dead by a woodman and never saw her father again after he went into the apple orchard late one afternoon long ago; she is officially depressed and thus is vulnerable and seeks the help of 7 little men and stays in their cottage. But it is far from restful. First, the 7 little men are miners and when they return home, their home is anything but clean...there are dishes piled high with thick grime and grease caked onto it, the floor looks like hurricane katrina went by it 3 times, and there is just dirt everywhere! First Snow White will be subject to clean for them....doing the dirtiest of jobs ranging from fixing the clog in the drain to cleaning and scrubbing undergarments that match the color of her dark hair. And since the 7 dwarves have been among themselves for all these years and have had no way of finding proper entertainment.....Snow White is the perfect target. I know....its not a pretty picture...and frankly the how of it would be too difficult and too....well....ugly for me to say.

She is at their constant beck and call...satisfying each and doing whatever pops in their minds...doing every basic chore possible and even dancing like a clown to please them...and keeping a smile at all times. Snow White is a basic wreck. Her skin is almost the color of yellow parchment, her hair is all askew, her makeup and mascara are constantly running due to her tears, her eyes have bags under them from sleepless and very uncomfortable nights....she has trouble eating, sleeping, or even sitting (yeah that bad) worried that her duty to them may be commanded. Or else. She lives in constant fear. Snow White will most probably summon her animal friends to come at night and eat her....because if she were to live a life such as this and still live to tell the tale....she would rather not.
