A Thread of Fate

"Mirror, mirror, tell me, who is the fairest in the land?" Why can we never be satisfied with the things we long for? Meeting does not mean our paths will cross. Perhaps we merely come face to face on a narrow road, smile, and pass by. Making an acquaintance does not mean growing closer. Amid the bright lights and tempting distractions, how much of your affection is false, and how much of mine is feigned? Knowing someone has nothing to do with love. Unable to break free of worldly conventions, we hesitate and stand on opposite shores, separated by just one step. A single thought stirs the heart, in you or in me. Between right and wrong, who is right, and who is wrong? At midnight, a spell: carefully peeling an apple before the mirror. A fated romance in a world of fantasy, with the Matchmaker as go-between and a red thread tying us together. Will you be waiting at the other end?
