[theunfairfolk]

jack, who climbed into the giants’ realm. jack who paid dearly for the treasures he reaped. lucky and ruthless, he escaped with his life. jack who came back different.

jack whose name we now all know. the boy, the fool, the giant killer. jack with a fortune to rival the gods. jack who had always been different.

some live in the bones, those corpses he left behind, big as mountains. strangers ask of the caves, the yellow-white walls, carrying stories of him, his wit, his cruelty.

the whispers that come will come the same; this is the house that jack built.
