Fairy Tales for the Modern Man

In line with the latest fad of "fairly tales for XYZ". Here is my attempt at writing the set for writing fairy tales for the modern man.

In case you are not aware of this fad, please go through the following links:

Here goes nothing:

# 1:

Once upon a time a guy was in a relationship where he doesn't have to be the understanding or sensitive kind. He could speak his mind without worrying about hurting her feelings. He doesn't have to notice insignificant things about her to make her feel appreciated. He had once told her that he loved her and she knew that he still does and that was enough.

The End

# 2:

Once upon a time, a guy found what he loved to do. He started doing it, the more he did it, the happier he got, so he did it some more. People around him didn't really understand why he liked doing what he was doing, but they were supportive anyways. Over the course of time, he started making a little money on the side because of what he loved doing. Eventually he realized he could
take the plunge, leave his job and still manage to stay afloat. He took the plunge, kept at it and now only does what he loves to do.

# 3:

Once upon a time, a guy had a good job.He kinda loved it. He had enough money to pay his rent, go out when he wanted to and he was fit enough to  drink and eat to his heart's content. He had friends, men and women, they liked his quirky sense of humour and never nagged him about getting married. He met them regularly. He met a few women who respected his independence both in action and
in thoughts, as much as their own.They talked about interesting things, laughed together and did a few other things too. Later, he found someone for whom commitment was not equal to marriage.
They decided to live together. They realized they can't manage to have kids, so they decided not to have them and instead increased contribution to their retirement funds. They lived together till they died.

# 4:

Once upon a time, a guy realized he doesn't like the city so much. There were too many people, too much noise and the colour of the sky was all funny. He decided to go back to his hometown in mountains. He still lives there and loves it.

The End.

# 5:

Once upon a time, a guy realized that he doesn't like his home town so much. There weren't enough fun people, the evenings were eerily silent, the sky was too blue for his taste and to top it all everybody knew him and his parents. He studied hard and got into a good college. He landed a job from the college itself. Now he lives in a small room near the multiplex with his college mates.
He goes to movies every weekend, parties once in a while, holds the hand of the girl he likes in public because no one knows him or care and likes the fuzzy pale blue of the sky.

His parents are still at his hometown and don't give him any grief.

The End
