Another Friday, another flash. Enjoy, I hope :-)
Who
was she kidding? She couldn’t pull this off. How was one supposed to get into
one of these dresses anyway? No wonder they had ladies maids in those days. No
such maid was here to come to her aid now. No, it was only her, using her
feminine wiles against the horror that would otherwise befall her family, and
Landon did not want her.
He
had specifically asked for Miriam. She snapped the mirror shut and scowled at
her reflection in the curiously hazy glass of her dressing table.
The
door opened and his large shadow loomed over her.

DeleteVery ominous, indeed. He'll take her whether he wants to or not. Who could refuse? And once he does, the upper hand is hers. But, in the moment, this moment, it is chilling. Great flash. xo

DeleteAn intense piece that left me wondering who would be coming in. Nice one Doris.
ReplyDeleteexcellent, with a touch of the dark, but you can't just leave it there.
ReplyDeleteMy, my. Such promise! So what happens now? I must know!! Is it Landon? You've definitely whet my appetite, Doris :-)
ReplyDeleteOh wow Doris! This is def a suspenseful story. My heart went into my throat as I read this. I wonder what will happen now. Was this an arranged marriage? Was she sold to be married? I love the suspense. Great flash.
