Have you ever been studying to do something you love for a living, but you get rejected at every turn, while others who are not more qualified than you with the same skill seem to always get accepted? This is a skit I made about this type of double standard you may face in your progress toward your career.
When I learned the choral in a minor by Cesar Franck, I immediately thought of a story that fits nicely with it. Enjoy the story of forbidden love.
In this story, there is turmoil, dialogue between thoughts, tragedy, and one epic adventure.
Disclaimer: This story does not pass the Bechdel test.
