VESPERS is a fiction short story that will take you what you have read, and flip it upside down. Although the main character leads a seemingly normal life, a series of events prove that nothing is what it seems. Almost every detail in the story has an important and deeper meaning, although it may take several reads before you see it all. It may seem to be a simple "prophecy" story at first, but it ends with a massive plot twist that will make you question everything you have read in the story. Although it is fairly long for a short story and not broken into parts, the story moves along fairly quickly. Please let me know what you think in the comments.

The Society
During the times when kings and Queens still ruled, where holding hands was considered a scandal, Idris Frasier struggles to survive when her life is sucked into a group that calls themselves, The Society. She tries her best not to let their schemes, secrets and ways consume her. However when she finds someone who gives her hope and makes her smile, can she take the chance despite the conspiracies to attain her happiness. The thing about society is they're not to be trusted because everything is a game. ______________ My father once told me a story... "Imagine being mixed with the crowd. Everywhere you turn you see faces. What's worse? They're looking at you with hate, disgust, disappointment. They spit venomous words that slice through you sharper than a knife. They hate you just for existing, for simply breathing the same air as them. It leaves you feeling suffocated but the more you run, trying to find a way out, the faces multiply. You're searching-looking for someone who can look past everything, pick you up and smile at you. You fall on your knees taking the hits. They keep pushing your limits until your back breaks and you're face flat on the ground. That's how it feels, Idris. That's what we've come to know in this cruel world. This-This place we call Society. It isn't a fairytale of happy children playing and people getting along. No. It's far more evil than that. One day you'll understand, if only it doesn't consume us."
