WITHIN THE URBAN JUNGLE

Chapter 1: City Before The Dawn…

A myriad of looming skyscrapers bathed within the early morning light that cascaded countless shadows upon the concrete ground. The highest rise was the tallest tower within this city. A beacon of grand architecture, High Rise Mountain, a steel structure that would outlast even the bricked up slums would be a testimonial of artistic vision.
One such artist, a Miss Henrietta Delores Suffridge, appreciated it when she first moved into this ensuite apartment complex within the middle of this man made marvel tower merely five years ago.
Awakening to the early dawn of another day within her roomy apartment, she gazed out with eager eyes to the day ahead of her. Though being a trust fund Duchess of supposed distant noble birth, she had settled herself within this city ten years ago freshly out of college with a degree in artistic design, eager to share her vision upon the fashion scene. In the last two years, she had already made herself widely known in the fashion world as a trendsetter and visionary genius. Sure, it took her a lot of hard work and funding from her rich relatives to make her dream a reality but she stuck to it and made a name for herself with her skill and passion for her art. But in truth, despite all the glamour and fame, the now thirty six year old found she craved solitude to herself so she could be inspired daily once more whilst letting her creations speak for themselves.
Smirking ironically to herself before taking a sip of her early morning coffee within her white porcelain mug, Henrietta savoured the aroma before allowing her tastebuds to encapsulate the bitter yet mild sweetness of the freshly roasted blend that started her day refreshingly chipper and blissful in sophisticated eloquence.
Putting her mug full of coffee down upon her marbled kitchenette countertop, Henrietta allowed herself to be drawn to the scenic viewpoint of her room that overlooked the city of Urban Jungle like a black panther surveying the wilderness before it upon a canopy of the vast rainforest.
‘So, what do you have for me today?’ she thoughtfully pondered to herself.

This makes me think of the relatively-old movie "The Devil Wears Prada." Waiting to see if your story ends up dramatic, humorous or both.
