Beautiful Landscape

I followed her down a hall and up a short flight of stairs. She opened a huge door for me and clsed them once I was inside. She pointed to a bench and hurried off inside what I assumed to be the closet.

After she had disapeared, I stood and looked around. Everything in this room was beautiful. There was a small, golden jewlery box on a shelf near some family pictures, and a huge picture window with the drapes drawn. I walked over tot he window and threw back the curtains.

I gasped as I looked down over the kingdom below. There was acres of lucious green land. A small crystal-clear, blue lake was off to the right of the room I was in. Farther back and to the left a forest of greens and browns began. The forest ran the length of the horizon, or so it seemed. Straight below, I could see the town I use to work in and the minature people milling about.

“Ma’am?” The maid asked as she returned. I nearly jumped as I turned around. When I saw the dress in her hands I gasped again and my hand flew to my heart.
