Emilia and the Red Shoes

Emilia has always dreamed of following in the footsteps of the famous artist Camille and becoming a theatre star. But her life takes an unexpected turn when she is diagnosed with a rare disease that causes her to be frozen for long periods of time, robbing her of precious years of life. Each time Emília wakes up, she finds herself in a completely different world, where the people she loved and the things she knew no longer exist.

This short story is based on a nightmare that i had where i lived as Emilia. Was a strange experience to be honest, but, after i think about it, i had to transform into a written history.

While in the nightmare the story was more cold and heartless, except for the emotion that i feeling myself, in the short story i try to add feeling for the characters and try to transform them into real people. I also give a end to the protagonist, closing her arc, since in my nightmare ends with her crying after the run she makes.
