When I was a little girl, my Ma used to read me stories every night. Some were of princesses trapped in towers guarded by fierce dragons. The pitiful princess would be stuck inside all day pining for her prince charming to come and rescue her. I always hated those stories. I couldn’t imagine why the lazy thing didn’t just get up and leave. Ironic since I was now stuck in that same situation.

When I thought I saw hope on the horizon, that hope was smashed to bits by – you guessed it – another damn dragon.
