A Narnia drabble.
I found this on an ancient 'three things' meme I am afraid I never finished... But I think it works well as a drabble. Susan, just before The Last Battle
Her family thought that she was running wild, but she was utterly sick of having to be the responsible, grown-up one. All she wanted was a normal, carefree girlhood, with parties and friends and nice clothes and dancing. She never much cared about men. The attention was exciting and some of them were charming, but the thought of actually marrying, or even being alone with them made her feel shut-in and frightened. She wasn't sure why, but it had something to do with a dream she once had, about being trapped in a house in a hot, dusty city.
