He was in pain. I helped him break the curse. A modern twist on Beauty and the Beast.

From the time we are born, they decide what or who we become. Those who are "normal" become part of what they call the human race; while those who are born "abnormal" become part of the "inhabitants." My name is Jane Doe; my brother is John Doe. We are part of the inhabitants, but we believe that both parts should become a whole. There's only one problem- the head of the human race is not exactly "in line" with our plan for the future of OUR lives. #OnceUponNow #JustWrite
