Rapunzel
Once upon a time
From her view in a locked room on the fifteenth floor, she could see the world. She could see the dotted peasants flecked like ants across the hills, the lustrous waves of the river and the towering castles that faced her. She could see everything. With dark lashes curling over emerald eyes she could read their faces, hear their thoughts, listen to the wind.
But sometimes the darkness in her was too much. It seeped through her body, through her mind, through her heart. She was a beautiful Princess but on the inside she was as black as coal. Her blackness would tower over her, over her castle, its dark, wretched hands creeping their way through her watching eyes and into the ruined confines of her soul.
“I wonder what it is like,” she whispered croakily, bony, white fingers curling up against the window frame, “ to breathe their air.”
The dark, empty room did nothing but stare at her in response.

It's not making sense so far, but it will. XD This is going to be six drabble-sized chapters long, and it's all reality-based, so don't be confused by the metaphors and imagery. Comments are luuurve! :3
