     The door in front of me flew open.  I stare into the room that was

revealed.  It was a dim room with the only light coming from the hearth.  I

step into the room.  Just as quickly as the door opened; it closed behind

me with a thud.  I look around the room only to find it isn't what I

originally thought.  With the door open I had thought it dim, now it is

bright with the chandlers at the top of the vaulted ceiling lit to be a

glow.  There are men and women about the hall some talking some twirling to

the gentle background music on the marble floor.  Each woman is wearing a

full length middle-ages type dress in many different muted colors and

styles.  Each man is wearing a tux, but not a present day tux.  They seem

to have stepped out of the same time era as the women. I feel horribly out

of place as I look around the room.  When I had come through the door, I

was wearing simple every day clothes: jeans and a t-shirt.  Yet no one was

staring at me.  I look down at myself only to be astonished.  I am wearing

a royal blue dress that reaches the floor. It takes a slight sashay of my

hips to know that I’m also wearing a hoop skirt.  The bodice of the dress

has a square cut top and white ribbons that cross over each other.  They

set the royal blue of the dress of nicely.  I do a couple of twirls

admiring the dress only to come up short by almost bumping into a boy about

my age.  He was wearing black trousers and a white shirt under a dark,

green, velvet jacket, which went nicely with his green eyes and black

hair.  He smiles down at me and holds out his hand.  I stare for a minute

then shrug and take his hand, smiling.  We twirl around the white marble

with the other couples.

I like it. The way you go into detail about the room and what is happening really sets the mood of the story and I almost felt like I was there watching it happen. Good write! Keep it up.
