It’s a Queen Thing, Dear.

I remember the first time I met her and how I instantly disliked her. It was a sunny day, but not a warm one. The cloudless sky was so bright a blue that it hurt your eyes just to look at it. The wind whipped, but not through the trees for there were none. You could taste the dust on your lips a
