Ever since she’d been a child, she’d made big dramatic statements.
They told her she couldn’t play baseball, it was a boy’s sport, she’d shorn off her long brunette locks.
They said she couldn’t be a judge, women were too emotional to decide justice, she’d sentenced her first murdered to death in a cold dreadful voice.
They decided that she’d have to marry to enter politics, and they’d been decidedly wary when she agreed.
Smiling Madeline walked around her wedding dress, the media were attending in droves.
She’d have to thank them at the reception for widening her audience.

I didn’t see this dress prompt. The one I did last week was a crown. KL must have done two in one. I think I would have created a fairy princess for that dress. I loved your take though.
Wow, you’re reading pretty fast. That’s quite a tome of a story. Thank you so much for still reading it.

On the weekend I’ll give you some feedback (all really minor stuff). It might be useful. But I am really loving it. 🙂
