A short ficlet
A piece of clothing has changed the life of a few people forever. This is the POV of one of them. Don't assume who the someone is. Please read & find out & tell me what you think.
Corset, an insignificant but formidable piece of clothing.
Who would have thought that it could change my life indirectly forever?
Without it, Elizabeth would not have fallen off the embattlement and met that infamous pirate.
Without it, Port Royale would not have been ransacked by the pirates.
I often wonder whether Elizabeth would have been my wife if she had not fallen.
I suspect she might have still chosen that blacksmith Turner being strong-willed as she always is but I think other things might have been different.
I lost my love, my commission, my dear principles, and nearly my life because of a piece of clothing.
I must have been the laughing stock of the world now.
