Poisonous Persuasion

Originally, this is a first draft of a piece of coursework. I've changed it since, so why not put the first drafted piece here?
In life, we all have chances. We all have things that happen to us that we never would expect. Be them good or bad, or downright nasty. But everything is always so much harder to believe when the wool is pulled from our eyes; and the princess dream that every young girl has had about a prince, a dance, and a meal that makes your mouth water with the very scent is tantalizingly laid out in front of you. When you awaken into that dream, what exactly are you meant to do?
