Catherine Reconsidering Her Destiny

Themes: Escape | Wonder

No matter where I go or how hard I try to please my employers, Destiny always finds me. Just when I’ve put everything in order, she flies in, tears up the house, and leaves everything in pieces. I run away in shame.

Now I work for a lady who has asked me to climb a mountain every morning to make an offering to her destiny.

Maybe it’s time I stopped running from my own.
