The Golden-Touch King
The King Whose Touch Turns Gold
Just as I wished, everything turned to gold. ...My daughter, and my bread, too.

Profile
A king who wished for the power to turn all he touched to gold—and got it. But his food, and the very daughter he embraced, all became cold golden statues, leaving him to shiver with hunger and loneliness in the middle of his riches. He appears beside people who reduce everything to money and profit, and those who chase earnings while putting what matters last, and quietly sets their hands aglow. His gilded fingertips push others away the very moment he grasps them.
