The Dance of the Victim and her Hero
The King sits on his throne.
His daughter, the princess, runs to him and sits in his lap as she has done a hundred times before. This time, though, it is different. The King realizes that she is not so young anymore. He notices the swell of her breast, the curve of her thighs.
He stiffens and casts her off. Fearing that men might notice and defile her, he imprisons her in the grotto, guarded by his dragon named “Worthlessness.”
She doesn’t understand, but knows that she has done something wrong… or worse, that it is not something she has done, but something that she is. So she sits on the cold rocks, imprisoned by Worthlessness, and cries herself to sleep.

It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out.
