Lady in Waiting
Jennie knows that the royal family are doing everything they can to break the curse upon Princess Lorelei, and that it's not her place as a mere gate guard to question them. But with the supply of both princes and empathy running low, she cannot sit idly by and abandon Lorelei to eternal slumber.
First published in Issue 10 of the now-defunt SERIAL Magazine, "Lady in Waiting" has been reprinted in Mirrors Reflecting Shadows, an anthology by Outcast Press, Roi Fainéant Press and Anxiety Press, with proceeds benefiting the Trevor Project.
