I guess some dark forests are only slightly dark?

Brilliant story. My favorite line: "The priest said, “I now pronounce you knight and princess!”"

No mention of ogres, but I totally see the resemblance!

Do you think Shrek's writers used a similar prompt? 😉

Wonder if they had access to prompts? Although, you may like to read my comment on Shibumi, a novel written in 1979 by Trevanian, which describes “ Fat Boy” as a computer that crunches data!

It is about an American little boy, raised in Japan, who imbibes the delicacy of Japanese culture and goes on to become the most dreaded assassin, using ancient techniques and GO as an analogy!
