Science Fiction Fantasy Stories World
315 wordsFor many people, fantasy isn't more than a story about a princess, a prince, kings and queens, who always have a happy ending in anyway. For me, fantasy is more than that. It makes people think that maybe the world can be different, that maybe in the past and in the future, they were or will be someone like that princess or prince who everyone of us had dreamed with; and it makes that the world were we live in, is not as boring as we had thought.
