The first few things that come into people's minds when they first read the title of this story is of lost boys, pirates and neverneverland. Everyone has probably heard of the tale of peter pan; a boy who never wanted to grow up, who goes through adventures of having a fairy as a sidekick, flying endlessly across the mountains and seas, fending off pirates and becoming the hero of the day.
When i was younger, i used to believe that this could be all real. Not exactly the same but of angel dust that would enable me to have special abilities, of pirate ships and indians (although i prefer the cowboy and indian rivalry better), of never having to grow up and just being carefree.
All of these were my fantasy. But as i grew up, hopes faded, expectations dissipate, reality kicked in.
The Tale of the Spinster and Peter Pan is about a lady who has a dull routine life and starts having a fascination with a band member. Her imagination starts playing with her as she then starts comparing the guy to peter pan. In the end, her expectations were shattered when the guy finally approached her. So much for a fantasy.
