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?

Julie had always been enamored with Beauty and the Beast settings, despite the endless overwork as an office worker. But one fateful day, fate took a peculiar turn when her plane she rode accidentally crashed and transported herself into the mysterious Beast World. "Holy Shitnitz! Is this the Beast World from the popular novel or comic I've read?" == "Look... the other female was so tall but stunning while the other one is short but cute." "The small one seems weak; I'll go after the other strong one. She will bear more cubs than the weak one." Julie let out a sigh, her heart was clutched with both frustration and disappointed while looking to the other male beastmen with a pitying gaze. It seemed her height and skinneness was being judged. "Hah, what an idiot. As I recalled, that beautiful one was more naive and a little foolish despite her looks. There's no way I'll find trouble like her." "What's her name again, was it Bai Qingqing?" The leopard threw her a cold glance, and shouted. "You female! Don't go near us again, I don't want you to hurt Bai Qingqing!" It's like every time he saw her with Bai Qingqing, she always weeping in tears. 'Dude, she cried because you left me in the forest. It's not my fault she's crying over me like she lost her bestie. What a retarded jerk! She clicked her tongue, and rolled her eyes. "Oh well, there's nothing I could do to the foolish ones." "Fate is fate." Despite her amusement at the situation, she winced as she recalled the chaos and troubles that seemed to follow the 'beautiful and naive' female in the story. Being transported into Beast World, Julie was determined to carve her own path and avoid getting entangled in the dramatic affairs of the beastmen.
