• A Dream:
    A man sits on a gilded throne, cane in hand. He moves and places a black top hat on his head tilted downwards and he walks across the room toward a mirror. There he peers to where a girl is sitting on the bed looking up at the ceiling, whispering a song to herself. He taps the glass with his cane, startling her and looking over at the mirror. Curiously she walks toward the glass and watch as he beckons her to come closer, while tapping the glass again. She presses her hand on the glass peering more into the mirror, suddenly arms reach out and pull her into the mirror. The girl awakes to a dark world, unable to move her limbs or speak. She finds herself in a black crystal ball, as a man peers into it smiling to himself. He tilts the top hat to reveal red-gold eyes, chuckling as he watches his new doll float all alone. He moves both hands to hover above the crystal ball, watching as threads slowly attached themselves on the girl. He makes the doll move with a mastered skill, and all around the room, black crystal balls line the walls, filled with other dolls mourning their lost freedom. The ringmaster toys and plays, steals and tortures, soon the darkness descends down leaving him to the people he trapped under his spell. The wheel turns and long after he is gone, another nightmare starts and continues past this dream.
