SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN ASTRONAUTS
Upon marrying the prince, Snow White moved from the tiny cottage inhabited by the seven dwarves to an enormous castle and estate. The dwarves attended college, and all seven of them became astronauts. Before long, they were chanting "Heigh Ho Heigh Ho, its outer space we go!" Unfortunately, the captain of the ship was Sleepy, and their journey to the Big Dipper ended tragically as they crashed into the giant buckle of Orion's belt. In memory of the "Brave Little Seven", the planet Earth named a new constellation with seven stars after them and their journey: "The Little Dipper."
Meanwhile, the prince was crowned king following his father's mysterious suicide. ...and yes, the new queen was Snow White. She attended college, and the clever queen graduated into a professor. She used the king's power to create a new course at the University, and if you had attended Dr. White's class that eerie fall semester, you would have attended "Reflection 101". The class was very new and modern, yet noticeably bizarre. There were no books, writing, talking, or even listening. The students were instructed to arrive on time and sit at a desk, each one supporting a mirror. The syllabus stated quite frankly: "all students must stare at their reflection for the entirety of class." For those escaping to the restroom, the Queen Professor had extra mirrors installed in every urinal. Something was definitely strange throughout the land.
The evil queen's demise procured Snow White's status as "fairest of them all", and before long, the entire castle accumulated an assortment of mirrors. It wasn't long before the king began to notice a change in Snow White, an obsession with mirrors that escalated from vanity to madness. "Mirror, mirror, on the wall...who is the fairest of them all?" the Queen asked the bedroom mirror, surely the largest one in the castle. A semblance of shadows cascaded within the reflection: a darkened waterfall of many into one. From behind the looking glass arose the voice of enticed resurrection: "My fair queen, Tis you...whitest of the snow...the ruby leaf that steals the fall". The windows shook as if their own reflections were being imprisoned within the countless mirrors of the castle. "There is, alas, but one, more fair".
The following day, Reflection 101 met. On the blackboard, or chalk mirror, was written the word REFLECTION. Dr. White's desk mirror suddenly revealed reflections that glazed sullen and dusk, beckoning to a gloomy hue. A voice spoke from the dark mirror: "O fair queen I do so fear, that the fairest one in the land is here." The professor exclaimed: "Show me their reflection, magic mirror on the desk". The mirror clouded and exposed a familiar reflection. "How is he the fairest, for he is dead?" asked Snow White. Suddenly, fire shot down through the ceiling triggering the fire alarm. A loud engine on the ceiling stopped, as water began to spray down on the room. A gun suddenly poked Snow White in the back of her head. Snow White slowly turned around. A tiny man in a space suit lowered his gun, and removed his helmet. Snow White screamed in awe: "Sleepy! But how...how...?" "Your plot to kill us didn't go as you planned. The poison apples you gave us for the trip killed every dwarf but me...it would have worked, but I slept through lunch. Before I have my vengeance, do you have anything to say"? Snow White turned around, looking down at her reflection. "How are you the fairest in the land?" Sleepy cocked the gun... "Beauty sleep" he said, and then pulled the trigger seven times.
