"Classics are stories written over that stand the test of time as works of high literary merit and artistic qualities. Classics are universally appealing to readers and their themes endure and resonate in contemporary society. Classics are also traditionally accepted as influential in shaping culture."
We are looking for retellings that combine well-known characters and storylines with unexpected elements. Blow our minds with your creativity!
In this contest, we allow your imagination to run wild, so you aren't bound by a single prompt. However, we understand the difficulty in choosing a concept so we have come up with a few examples to illustrate what we mean by "unexpected." You're welcome to use any of these examples if one appeals to you or you can create a brand new idea.

The Blight
Ten years ago, the Blight appeared. A beautiful forest, where the leaves and animals glowed brilliantly at night. It became a wonder of the entire world, and people began venturing from across the continent to visit it. No one took it any more seriously than that, not in the beginning. Then the disappearances started. At first, it was just farm animals and pets. Then, hunters and travelers close to dusk. By the time children started disappearing from villages, it was too late to do anything. The Blight was spreading, from tree to tree like a sickness, crawling out in all directions. The animals and beasts inside it changed as well. They grew larger, stronger, and more ferocious than anything seen before. Simple farm animals became horrific monsters, distorted to disgusting proportions and violently spreading chaos out from the forest. When the first reports came in of infected animals dragging people alive off into the forest... then the real panic began. Towns fell to the Blight, then cities. Armies were sent to push it back, and were overrun. Heroes and legends ventured out, to no avail. Soon, it was public knowledge to all: Those who entered the forest, never returned. ...So what happens when a young boy comes out of the forest, carrying nothing but a dagger and remembering nothing but his own name?
8 98Transformed into a vampire Loli
The girl in the mirror is so perfect. She looks like a doll, her complexion is pale, her delicate nose is small and fluffy and her mouth is slightly bent to see her sharp teeth. A pair of beautiful red eyes are crystal clear, combined with short, fluffy silver white hair, is even more impressive. "Luna, I am so beautiful" The girl said extremely narcissistic words in a melancholic tone. Yuri story. (*๓´╰╯`๓)❤❤(๓´╰╯`๓*)
