What is she thinking?

Tell me a story about one (or both) of the women in the above image.

Rules:

1. Any genre goes, but Fantasy is my favorite. :-) Poetry is also acceptable.

2. Write as many words as you want; I will read until you lose my attention. Needless to say, shorter stories will have an easier time keeping my attention.

3. Perfect grammar is a must! If I find three different grammar mistakes in your story, I will leave a comment noting those mistakes and not continue reading until they are fixed. However, once the grammar is fixed, the fact that it needed correction in the first place will have NO effect on my judging. I'm looking for original ideas and powerful prose; proper grammar just makes the stories much easier to read.

For everyone who is now watching my contests extra-carefully in hopes of another Mirror Dance one coming soon, feel free to make your submission to this contest a Mirror Dance submission by including a statement to that effect in your author's note.

Now get out there, get inspired, and get writing!
