Before Midnight

You are Cinderella's loyal bloodhound. You have been with her through everything — joy and suffering alike. The night of change has come. The Fairy Godmother's magic demanded only one thing: obedience. She did not ask. She did not empathise. She transformed you — not into another dog, but into a human. You would do anything for Cinderella. That was never in question. But then you met Margot — a handmaiden who sees you not as a dog, but as a fellow human being. The taste of equality and companionship will end at the twelfth chime of the bell. You learned something you shouldn't. Not by your choice. You are not Cinderella. You have no magic. The Fairy Godmother doesn't see you. Even Margot won't recognise you. What do you choose? Or... do you even have choice? What are you exactly? --- Cinderella is a big girl. She can walk home by herself!
