‘What is my life really about? Until recently, it has been about ‘performance’. An image carefully constructed. Every detail worked out in advance, to calculated effect. The effect being to tantalise and impress. To impress others, you see, in my game means to earn money. To garner attention is to influence hearts and minds but to ‘impress’ upon the psyche a certain desire for that person to then act in a certain way? Now that is the way I get paid. It’s worked for a while and I’ve earned well but I’ve also compromised a lot. Cause that’s what nobody tells you. There’s a trade-off to this game, a downside. And sometimes these serial trade-offs drag you in a direction you don’t wanna go in, a direction of losing your soul. Sometimes other things, in my case a certain someone, begin to count far more than those old ideas of ‘success’. Y’know, the stuff I thought were supposed to make me happy.’ Moirai’s words. This is a short story in the Fabled Love Series, Book 5.
