SHORT STORY - FICTION

The lines between reality and fantasy are blurred in this short extract that depicts the horrors of living at the mercy of somebody else. Castles suddenly become too claustrophobic, soft beauty seems to hold a wicked sharpness, and the masks that people wear soon melts under the light.

Imagination is seen as an escape, but is it enough to save this lady in waiting?
