The Goose Girl is a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm

Prompt:  A small severed horse's head hangs over the old, mighty city gate, its eyes lifeless yet haunting. The gate itself is steeped in centuries of history, its thick walls overgrown with moss and vines, while the stone arch is decorated with weathered inscriptions and symbols. Before the gate stands a goose girl, her beauty radiant despite the simple clothing she wears. Her long, golden hair falls in soft waves over her shoulders, and her deep blue eyes seem to fathom the secrets of the world. Her skin is flawless, a delicate pallor that contrasts sharply with the coarse fabrics of her simple costume. Her hands, rough from working with the animals, rest gently on her lap as she looks up and speaks softly to the horse's head. The cobblestone path that runs through the gate is uneven, bearing the marks of countless feet and wheels that have rolled over it over the centuries. The stones are polished smooth by time, but in places the weather has left cracks and fissures where small grasses and wildflowers sprout. The sound of her footsteps echoes softly as she speaks, a strange conversation, almost as if she were talking to an old friend. The horse's head, whose origin and fate remain a mystery, seems to listen attentively to the maid, as if a hidden spirit lived within it. The scene is surrounded by a silent, eerie magic, as if time has stood still in this place.
