"Would you like to hear a story?"

"A story? What kind of story?"

"A fairytale, about two princes taken from their kingdom, the brave warrior who helped them escape, and the monster who tried to destroy it all."

"Sorry, I don't write fiction."

"Who said it was fiction."

"..."

"Let's do this; I will tell you the story, and once I finish you can decide if you want to believe it or not; that is up to you."

"Seems fair"

"Good, since we're telling a fairytale, I think the best way to start is..."

Once upon a time, in the faraway land of Portorosso, there lived a young girl named Giulia, who dreamed of studying astrology to see the stars.

Her parents were divorced, she spends most of the year living with her mother in Genova, and in summer she returned to Portorosso to be with her father; she didn't like the town since everybody saw her as a freak, and looked at her like one.

But she enjoyed the sea and the company of her father, so despite everything she didn't complain about, she had a good life filled with love.

Sadly tragedy struck when her mother Monica fell ill, and after months of been in bed, she passed away.

Giulia had no choice but to leave the city and return to Portorosso, with her heartbroken for her loss, and her dreams of study slain. Her father was a fisherman, he couldn't pay her the University, neither a home in the city.

Giulia thought of getting a job to help, but the truth was she didn't want to stay in Genova, everything she saw reminded her of her mother, and she didn't want to mourn alone, she wants her papa to be by her side.

So once she was back in town she looked for a job to help with the house expenses, maybe in a few years, she could return to Genova, when time healed her wounds.

Outside of town, an hour on car, there was an American laboratory, nobody knew what they did there, but they were looking for cleaning staff, paid by the hour, all week long except Thursday's, from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

It was hard work, but Giulia wanted to be distracted, she endured the job, and soon a little happiness was in the house, father and daughter were reunited, and they loved each other, that was all that mattered.

Happy times were coming, that was until that fateful day when Giulia was asked to clean the E-Laboratory.
