"Once upon a time," there was a girl named Sahra. She was 30 years old. She lived in a land of "witches" and wizards.
There was a big house where she lived. Every day there were grand parties. She had a room to herself wherein she was able calmly to be.
She longed to be an adult, sufficient and grown her age. She was "still a child" to some but to others didn't matter.
She wore a gray kid's dress.
Downstairs each night there was a party downstairs where damsels played and talk, witches. Wizards were outside doing big complex things and later also had their own bash.
Sahra went downstairs. She saw a kind of lady she wanted to be able to see named Isabel who was 50. She was very shy, as she
sidled along, lonesome! and depressed. Isabel, so, picked her up as she was a full grown, strong woman, very attractive and active in the world and apparently in good physical shape, as well, felt good and was a more physical presence, like a great dancer or athlete in spirit, yet versed in the arts.
Sahra was not fully grown and so as a person she was rather meek and bony and shorter. She was very sensitive and apparently lost herself in this connection to Isabel.
Meanwhile, there is a cute girl named Angelica who was loud and commanding and had a hold on everything. She was 13 and went around the house like it was a party. Isabel picked her up to and in the process brought her up to bed where she slept with her, as they were used to from before when sleeping in the immigration bunks. Angelica, she was quite a baby. She stayed up with her eyes going in and out of focus and the others in bed laughed as they talked and Isabel calmed her to bed.
(I think I'm gonna keep Isabel.)
Another girl there was named Helga, and she was 15. She stayed up late and woke up at the last of the morning, tho she did not particularly enjoy her nights. She stayed up in the theater watching musicals where they danced and sang. It was amazing! She could not seem to do it. It was too tiring.
Morning came, and Margaret told Helga to wake up with her "mom" Cassima. Helga was grumpy but woke up. School was out, so she was happy. Margaret is a lovely girl! She is 14. She has a best friend named Carrie, who is 16. Carrie had a long pointed noise and twinkling blue and crystally eyes. Margaret was small and bubbly with a sweet grin. Isabel also came in and asked the girls, "What's cookin'?" Margaret said, "Oh, just waking up! Ah ha ha!" Carrie looked sideways and kept to herself, as she was rather shy.
Sahra was 30 and felt old but too young. Life looked bleak, as she stared off into the distance. She was never bad, but she sometimes felt she amounted to no good and could not see any way out of her present life. She went up to the school, and no one was there. She took an online course and completed a degree in Counseling. She 1st mentored an aspiring actress who was 40 and a little kid who was 4. She turned on and smiled pretty for the lovely little girl with her. She at least got the actress to laugh.
