MLMM Sunday Confessionals

That is why, for this Sundayconfessionals, I would like you to create a fairytale.

This was her dream, a white steed and a warrior riding, all to save her. A childhood dream that prevailed into adulthood. Her life was ordinary, and unless she could transport into a different century, the knight would never come.

The very large office party was usually an annual obligation she despised, as any available men never seemed to live up to her fantasies. It was New Year’s Eve and she decided the new year would come and bring her a surprise. She dressed for the party in her most romantic dress and decided things were going to change.

The hotel ballroom was full of coworkers and some from all over the world. She had fun at last, meeting people from outside her comfort zone. As the time grew close to midnight she entered the balcony and begged the stars to grant her a new perspective, possibly fulfilling her dreams. It was five minutes till everyone would be kissing their lovers as the new year started. She closed her eyes.

When she opened them she was in a different place. The scene around her was a snowy forest. Her gown was covered in a fur trimmed heavy velvet cloak. The hotel and balcony were gone. Her dream vision was right in front of her—white steed and a knight! He removed his helmet and reached down to lift her to sit beside him on the horse. She was so surprised she blinked to make sure she was awake. She rode off with him and wondered what was waiting for her in this new life.
