Pretender Shuffle

by Haiza Tyri

A series of drabbles based on the songs that come up in my iTunes shuffle. May continue indefinitely. Some very random and AU.

13. Act III

Excerpt from Act III, Sleeping Beauty Ballet, by Tchaikovsky 1:26

Carousel horses went round and round and came nowhere. It was like their lives. Run and chase. Go round and round. Never get anywhere. Never escape. Tethered to the carousel, attached to a pole, going up and down, pretending like something was changing, something was going, and it never was. You run, I chase. Nothing changes.
