Lucrezia had been sleeping under the shade of a tree in her courtyard with her son Giovanni, having a pleasant dream where she was dancing with the prince, the one that her wicked brother had murdered, when she suddenly woke up.
The first thing she became aware of was something cold under her cheek and hands. The floor was cold, tiled, and the air itself was chilled. Her infant son was beside her, still sleeping, which was a blessing, and she wore the same red velvet gown that she had gone to sleep in, but otherwise everything had changed, absolutely changed beyond all recognition.
She sat up and looked around at her surroundings with complete bewilderment, clutching her son to her breast. Where was she, and how had she arrived here?
There were lights overhead more brighter than the sun, and she was in a narrow corridor made up of glass fronted cases, filled with brightly coloured... well, she didn't know what they were from where she was, so she stood up and when she got close enough to put her hand onto the cold glass and looked inside she realised that it contained rows upon rows of boxes and bags painted with disconcertingly realistic looking pictures of food.
"Hello?" she called, looking up the deserted aisle, then back behind her, turning in a slow circle. "Hello, is anybody there?"
