Rosaleen Young – Genie Caged
Her dancing had always had a hypnotic effect. She twisted and swayed her body, curling and flexing her elegant limbs until the eyes watching her began to close and she had them in her power. She couldn’t understand why the Sultan seemed immune to her magic. He sat there solemnly, his eyes fixed about every curve. When, at last, she could dance no more her gave the orders for her to be returned to the cage. She shrunk to her knees, defeated. She felt rough hands grab her skin and the kiss of cold steel surrounding her on all sides. She heard the slam of the cage door and the sound of the heavy lock. She felt so vulnerable without her powers. What could she do to get them back?
About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
