Story-a-Day

Silk and Jewels, Bone and Steel

Gas lit chandelier
Gleams on silken petticoats
Slow formal dancers

Windows shattering
Sky pirates on the night air
Coming for your jewels

Ignoble retreat
Steel boned corsets defeat swords
Ladies, guard your men!

Story-a-Day is an attempt to bring a small bit of humor and amusement to Mrs. ~brb and Audrey as they fight very serious illnesses. If you have a short, amusing story, please send it to kersley.fitz at yahoo dot com. If you'd prefer, you can drop it in the drop.io (password: challenge) and email me to let me know it's there.
