One Day Cinderella Had Enough with Floor Mopping, Laundry Washing, and Kissing the Ass of Her…

Summary

Cinderella, after enduring abuse from her stepfamily, takes revenge by orchestrating their accidental deaths and inherits their wealth, leading to a twisted happy ending with her assassin husband.

Abstract

In a dark twist on the classic fairy tale, Cinderella, known for her kindness and subservience, is subjected to exploitation by her evil stepmother and stepsisters. After years of servitude and dreaming of a prince's rescue, she decides to take matters into her own hands when her stepsister hands her filthy underwear to wash. Cinderella concocts a plan to eliminate her stepfamily in a way that looks like an accident, considering and rejecting methods that would leave her homeless or require funds she doesn't control. A talking snake offers a solution: an assassin who will accept a sexual favor as payment. Cinderella agrees, leading to the stepfamily's 'accidental' death and her inheritance of their fortune. She and the assassin fall in love and marry, living happily ever after in this macabre retelling.

Opinions

The story presents a critique of the traditional Cinderella narrative, highlighting the exploitation she faces and challenging the idea that she needs to be rescued.
The tale satirizes the concept of 'happily ever after,' suggesting that Cinderella's story is not one of passive waiting but of active and ruthless agency.
The narrative implies a dark humor in the way Cinderella plots the demise of her stepfamily, with the absurdity of a talking snake and the transactional nature of the assassin's payment adding to the satire.
The story subverts the trope of the virtuous heroine by having Cinderella willingly engage in a sexual favor to achieve her goals, which is a stark departure from the character's traditional portrayal.
It reflects on the theme of power dynamics, as Cinderella transitions from a powerless position under her stepfamily to gaining control over her life through cunning and calculated actions.

So she decided to take matters into her own hands

Sweet Cinderella was kind, gentle, and unusually subservient. That was exploited by her evil stepmother and step-sisters.

She swept and mopped the floors of their house, she washed and mended their clothes — even their underwear — and was the only one sent for shopping and other errands.

The evil trio envied her beauty and wanted to break her spirit. Cinderella dreamed of being rescued by a Prince who would come galloping on a snow-white horse and take her to his palace.

But no Prince ever came. No fairy prepared her for a Royal ball. So one day, when her step-sister handed her her filthy knickers to wash, which she’d been wearing for a week to be a dick, Cinderella had enough.

She started concocting a plan to waste the three bitches. It should look like an accident, of course. She considered locking them and burning them alive, while enjoying their screams with glee.

But that would render her homeless, so she reconsidered. She could not hire an assassin and make it look like a robbery gone wrong either. The hag and her daughters controlled all the funds.

Wondering what to do she noticed a snake on an apple tree observing her. The snake started talking:

“I can hook you up with an assassin, and you can pay in kind. He has a kink for hot virgins. But he’ll want the full monty.”

“You… you mean?!”

“See it as an opportunity to score three points with one dart.”

Cinderella agreed. Her step-family had a fatal ‘accident’ a few days later — their bandwagon fell off a cliff — and she inherited their fortune.

She and the assassin fell deeply in love and married a few months later. And, of course, they lived happily ever after.
