Alone


The next morning, Cinderella awoke to find the house completely messy. Puddles, dirty toilets, and overdue pizza lying about, Cinderella got to work cleaning.

Meanwhile, instead of having a shower and finishing their homework, Drusella and Anastasis, her Stepsisters, were playing with their toys. Cinderella felt a pang of sadness.


A few hours later, while she was working, her sisters were waiting in the school bus. Eventually the school bus left, and she was still cleaning up the messy house.



She worked so long she was late to arrive at school - 5 hours late. School was already more then half over.



Eventually school ended, and Cinderella invited her friend Alto over. Cinderella walked home, and Alto took the bus. Cinderella got home and Alto never showed up, or perhaps he was playing with her stepsisters. Feeling sad, Cinderella finished her duties of cleaning by taking out the trash, earned her daily wages of $5, and went to sleep in her shed for the night.

 In the middle of the night, Cinderella awoke fully slept and with a sore back. She remembered she hadn't finished her homework from school and, on her free will, decided she would go do her homework in the big house. She needed a change from the empty and lonely presence of the shed, providing she didn't get caught by her Stepmother. Luckily, she wasnt discovered.
                       Cinderella felt very, very alone in the world. She missed her father dearly.
