The Sweet Trap of Lord Licorice
By Meilynn Wilken

10 Oct, 2024

Lily and Rose, two best friends, found themselves in Candy Land, a place they had only imagined in their dreams.

They gazed in awe at the sugary kingdom, their eyes wide with wonder. The sweetness in the air was intoxicating, and they could hardly contain their excitement.

In the heart of Candy Land stood Licorice Castle, the residence of Lord Licorice. His eyes gleamed with wickedness as he spotted Lily and Rose.

Lord Licorice grinned and said, 'Welcome, girls, to my sweet kingdom! It's not every day we get such delightful visitors.' His voice was as bitter as his licorice castle.

Lily and Rose followed Lord Licorice into the castle where they were led into a room. Suddenly, the door closed behind them, trapping them inside.

Lord Licorice's laughter echoed as he said, 'Enjoy your stay, girls.' The girls looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

Lily and Rose were stuck in a candy cane maze. They had to find a way out before Lord Licorice returned.

The girls held hands and navigated through the maze. Their hearts pounded, but they were determined to escape.

After what seemed like hours, Rose noticed a giant gumdrop. On closer inspection, they found a hidden door behind it.

With a collective sigh of relief, they opened the door and found a passageway leading outside. They had found their escape route.

Lily and Rose emerged from the castle, back in Candy Land. They could see Licorice Castle in the distance, its shadow slowly fading away.

They ran as fast as they could, leaving the castle behind. They were free at last, their hearts filled with joy and relief.

As they reached the edge of Candy Land, they saw a shimmering portal. It was their ticket back home.

Hand in hand, they jumped into the portal. The sweet smell of Candy Land faded as they were whisked away to their own world.

Lily and Rose found themselves back in their room. Everything seemed normal, as if they had never left.

They looked at each other, their adventure in Candy Land now a sweet memory. They knew they would always remember their journey.

That night, as the girls drifted to sleep, they dreamt of their adventure. Candy Land was now a part of them, a magical memory.

Though they were back in their own world, they knew they would always cherish their sweet escape from Lord Licorice's trap.

When morning came, the girls woke up. Their dreams of Candy Land had faded, but the memory of their adventure was still fresh.

As they prepared for a new day, they wondered what other adventures awaited them. But whatever they were, Lily and Rose knew they would face them together.

They knew they could overcome anything, as long as they had each other. After all, they had escaped from Lord Licorice's sweet trap.

Lily and Rose looked out of their window, their eyes full of hope and excitement for the new day. Their adventure in Candy Land was just the beginning.
