"where....where am i? what's going on?" she opens her eyes, slowly blinking and adjusting to the darkness.
"Hello?" she tries to move her arms, but can't.
"oh good. she's finally awake. the show can finally begin," a deep voice sounds in the darkness.
"please, will someone tell me where i am? why can't i move," she attempts to move again to no prevail.
"ssh. it's showtime,"the voice hisses at her and gentle laughing is heard.


as the laughing dies down, a bright light floods her vision, a sliver only about 5 feet wide. the shape of a person blots out the light.

the sound of appaluse shrills up. The figure raises it's arms and the clapping stops.
"welcome all to the show. we have a very special presentation for you tonight, so prepare to be amazed." his voice, which had been the soft voice whispering to her, boomed. the figure bows deeply and the light disappears.

"please sir, there's some mistake" she whispers to the figure standing in front of her.
"Quite my precious. You need to be perfect, it's a full house," he fusses with her hair and makes sure her outfit is absolutely perfect.
"perfect for what? i don't understand."
