Oh, dear reader, I still remember the day our worlds collided like it was yesterday. The chaos and uncertainty as I found myself torn from everything familiar and deposited in this strange new place called Earth. Ten years have passed since that fateful event, but the memories of those initial days are etched vividly in my mind. It was like stepping from a warm summer meadow straight into a frozen tundra – so utterly foreign and inhospitable. Gone were the whispers of ancient trees, the fluttering wings of dragonflies as large as horses, and the sweet songs of fey folk drifting through crystal clear streams.
As an elf accustomed to life in a village where magic flowed like water, I struggled to adapt to this world devoid of its wonders. But survival beckoned; our family needed food on the table. Thus began my arduous journey into corporate America – an alien landscape filled with cubicles and conferences instead of enchanted forests and starlit rituals. Job interviews proved particularly harrowing for someone of my background. I faced not just questions about skills and experience but also lewd gazes from some corporate bosses who seemed more interested in assessing my physical attributes than my abilities as a secretary.
I recall one particularly unsettling interview where the CEO – a man thrice my height with eyes that roamed freely over me – asked why someone so ‘youthful’ would be seeking such a mundane role. The way his words dripped with innuendo made my skin crawl under my crisp white blouse, yet outwardly I maintained poise; an elven trait honed through centuries of diplomacy with hostile tribes and mediating between quarreling dragons. Despite such distasteful encounters, determination pushed me forward until finally landing this position at Everstone & Co., where thankfully professional boundaries remain respected.
