The Queen


              For a moment Kitty could have sworn the Minister was going to explode.  But when he smiled instead, Kitty almost wished he hadn’t.  Nothing about that smile felt like a warm fuzzy.  “You must be a queen in your world,” he said, but Kitty shook her head.  “No.  Only a girl.”
“There is nothing ‘only’ about it,” the Minister replied, in such a way that made Kitty’s skin crawl.  “Well, my dear, I would love to chat and learn more about you, but it appears that I must take my leave.  Until we meet again.”
And the image vanished as mysteriously as it appeared.
