## Description
You know the story:

The miller's daughter makes a deal with a creature, to spin "gold" for a "king". But what if it's not as literal as we were lead to believe? 

What pushed her to do it? 
What makes a monster, in a place where there's always a heavy price to pay?
And how many ways is there for the story to end? 

The miller's daughter is imprisoned in the windmill by her own father and chosen husband for the impossible task of "spinning gold" and under threat of literal death. To make matters worse, there is a lurking, haunting monster creature, standing right outside her window - her only escape. Her chances at this game of choices are like the spun thread trapping her wrists, as her fate lies on many hands... and none are hers.
