"Cheese"

When I was six, my babysitter Ami asked what I wanted to be when I grew up.
"16," I replied.

"Because that's how old Disney Princesses are. I'm gonna be just like Belle!" I said, twirling about.

A nameless whore in a sea of New York faces reconciles her life with her childhood dream of being a princess. Will she allow herself to be a victim of the world or conquer the city like a rat in the night?
