The Pretty Princess Dollhouse for Pretty Princesses

by Emma Fonseca Halverson

Gabi wants to be a writer. Elena wants a family to love and a happy life.

Gabi wants doors – doors that open and allow her to leave. Gabi is suffering from metaphoric asthma. The walls are closing in and she can’t breathe. Elena knows the doors are there, she just doesn’t want to open them. She thinks the walls keep her safe. She thinks Gabi is living in a fantasy world.

Two friends, on the verge of their adult life, realize they have very different viewpoints on how they want to live. Excellent scene work for competition.
