All her life, Annika had wanted to dance the white swan in Swan lake.
“Not nervous,” she whispered as a single butterfly fluttered in her stomach.
The lights dropped; the music rose. Annika’s movement, from first step to her perfect death, held the audience rapt until the final, thunderous applause.

Thank you to Srinath for the wonderful 3 word prompt: butterfly, audience, life. There are so many directions in which I could have taken this. I hope you like the one I chose.
Beautifully crafted!
Lovely.
