A Spindle Splintered

I really enjoyed this sideways take on the Sleeping Beauty tale.

Zinna Gray suffers from an incurable illness and has not been expected to survive to her 21st birthday, yet as the story starts she is celebrating her 21st in the grim knowledge that it will be her last. During the party a chain of events sends her to a parallel universe where she interrupts a certain princess who was in the process of pricking her finger on a spindle - and as a result opens up a whole new series of narrative possibilities.

Very well written.
