Three Matches, part 1
Dec 18, 2014
I changed the Andersen story a little - I'm hardly the first to do this to an Andersen, as any Disney aficionado could tell you - because when I was really little, I read it shortly after reading A Christmas Carol by Dickens and thought the Little Match-Seller Girl and Mister Scrooge existed in the same continuity. I remember being upset that Scrooge, after a whole life of being awful, got this wonderful new lease on life after the intervention of three ghosts while this poor little girl got three hallucinations before dying of cold in the streets. Anyway, I decided to put a little Dickens into the story by laying out her past, present, and future in her hallucinations. It was a neat little way to give our protagonist a context. Unfortunately, it didn't make the story any happier, and the Andersen version won out in the end.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story! I worked very hard on it over the past few weeks.
