For the B2MeM09 Day Eight prompt. The prompt was: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Is it? And ugliness? Is it also relative?
Write a story, poem or create an artwork where the contrast beauty/ugliness plays a central role.
Unfortunately, this prompt lit a fire under me to write a scene from the long dormant Silver Swan. It's long enough that I'm posting it here as an independent piece for now. But it will be incorporated in some form into the longer story eventually.
