Denial Is A River In Egypt

One morning, the Pretty Girl woke up feeling full of happiness and laughter. She jumped out of bed, put on her prettiest dress and nicest shoes, and decided to ignore the piles of work that made it hard for her to see the floor of her Dowdy Little Hut. The Pretty Girl opened the door of her Dowdy Little Hut and looked at the world outside. She saw a big green meadow filled with fragrant and colourful flowers, basking in the warmth of the sun. Among the flowers and grass rabbits and squirrels were hopping about, and the Pretty Girl could not contain herself. She jumped out of her Dowdy Little Hut, and found as soon as she left it, the Dowdy Little Hut disappeared. All she could see was the meadow, warm and sunny, all around her. She heard the faint noises of a magical tune seducing her unto dance and song, and she kicked of her shoes to follow it.
As the squirrels and rabbits played amongst the flowers, the Pretty Girl danced and sang through the meadow until all the sorrows of the Mundane World and the Dowdy Little Hut were distant memories, like the vague remembrance of something that has once happened to a best friend's aunt.
