Editing In My Dreams

<span style="color:#800000">'''This is a retelling of a dream as written in Flora's journal. So, it's a little disjointed, in places, as dreams tend to be.--Cindy'''</span><br><br><br>



A ball; the stuck up snobbery of fine dresses, men in their best and
talk of small insignificant things.  This isn’t my home; it’s some
place I don’t recognize.  Yet, I am upstairs getting ready another
estate; perhaps a friends, doesn’t matter.  The final touches, dress
on hair done.  I find a mirror all in my reflection I’m Eldren.  No
amulet just what was; the way I used to be all the time.<br><br>

Eldren the ones who everyone sees as beautiful.  Fine features,
playing into a beautifully formed being.   Men would look, woman as
well.  Some envious of the way I look others just to take it in.  It
would seem snobbish but no, that’s not it, it’s only the truth.  And
it’s not just me; Eldren just tend to have that effect on people.<br><br>

I see a faint glimpse of something in the mirror, someone almost human
looking.  I go back to looking Eldren; I tend to look Eldren in my
dreams.  I feel still Eldren but another look in the mirror and
another glimpse; this time of pointed ears and whiskers.  Then it is
gone I go back to looking Eldren.<br><br>

I stand as a knock comes to the door; Bertram is there.  He first
positions his arm so I can take it, we will come down the stairs into
the ballroom and make an entrance.   Then though he stops; looking at
me confused, pointing towards the mirror.  I look, my reflection
cruelly turning from Eldren to cat like to human.  Then the human
fades quickly and it’s just back and forth from Eldren to cat like.  I
awake with a gasp as if it was a horrible nightmare.<br><br>

Truth is it is; I am technically no longer Eldren because of the
curse.  I am more cat like.  The amulet only hiding the truth.  I
don’t belong as an Eldren any longer but I don’t belong with the cat
like people because I wasn’t born this way.    I don’t belong with
either; I’m not really either Eldren or catlike at this point but I am
also both.  I would give back all the money just to get back some
sense of where I belong and take away this curse.<br><br>
