Deviation Actions
Literature Text
A wealthy woman, barren and desperate for a child, offered a poor widow a hefty sum for her newborn son. The widow refused. Angry, the wealthy woman assaulted the widow, killing her accidentally. She took the infant and raised him as her own. Years later, the child contracted a severe disease, difficult to cure, although stem cells of a family member greatly increased the chance of survival. Asked to donate, the woman confessed her crime. Six months later, the boy was dead, and the woman lived out her life in prison, mourning his death and lamenting what she had done.

Another drabble for my irregularly updated collection of 100-word tales. This one was written for Beccalicious's Gender Transformed Fairy Tales Challenge. The idea is to take the characters from one of the Grimms' fairy tales and change the gender of all the characters in it. I was assigned The Bright Sun Brings It to Light. I changed the main character and the man he killed both to women; the only other character in the tale was the MC's wife, which here became the son. The plot has changed, but I think the basic idea is the same: a murder in the past comes back to haunt the murderer.
