Sixteen-year-old Katie Carpenter had her bedroom all to herself, and she decorated it very fashionably. She had a four poster bed with transparent curtains, a wooden vanity on the opposite wall, framed posters of Buster Keaton (her favorite actor), and a closet bursting with enough clothes to satisfy any mood she might be in on any given morning.

The Carpenter family wasn’t rich, but with only one child, the parents could certainly dote and spoil.

It was a Friday morning in October of 2056. The bright fall sun shined brightly through her windows, illuminating her room and spilling several bright rainbows onto her west wall with the aid of the prisms hanging in front of the glass panes. The room looked the same, smelled the same, and the voices and movement of her parents hustling and bustling about sounded exactly the same as any other day before school. But Katie did not feel the same.

This new feeling seemed to have been sparked by the dreams she’d been having lately. Like, in last night’s vision, the one still fresh in her memory, she had beaten her school teacher to death with a wooden ruler while her ex-boyfriend watched. Then she turned on him.

It was just one version of the same theme. For the last few weeks, blood, violence, and overwhelming pleasure had ruled her dreams in an unprecedented manner, more recently spilling over into her daydreams. At first she had been disturbed by them. She’d even considered going to her parents, but she didn’t want them to think their “queen” was a freak. Besides, they were just dreams. And as she began to comprehend the endowment of power the dreams offered her, her self-disgust eroded.

Today the transformation was complete. What exactly that meant, she wasn’t sure. Liberated. She tried the word on for size. Is that what I feel? She rose from bed and sat on the chair at her vanity, inspecting herself with a scrutinizing eye.

“Katie!” her mother called from the kitchen. “Get ready for school or you’ll miss first period again!”

“Come on, Queen,” her father added. “Listen to your mom.”

But Katie stayed at her mirror, grinning with a bigger smile than she’d ever had before. She reveled in new sensations and ideas that blossomed like sunflowers in her mind.

I’m free.

She basked in some unknown sense of joy. Why should she have to get up? Why should she do what they asked? Not now and not anymore.

“I’m free,” she whispered as she got back into bed. “Shut up, Mom and Dad. I’m free!”

“What was that, Queen?” her dad called from below. “I couldn’t hear.”

Her smile grew a little more. “Don’t make me repeat myself.”

Fifteen minutes later, her mother’s voice repeated her call with more fervor.

Now Katie was annoyed. Her mother’s infringement upon her newfound sense of liberty needed to be addressed. She had a choice to make. Give in to the fantasies in her head or not?

Throwing back her covers in a huff, she climbed out of bed, still in her underwear, and marched downstairs.
