Author's Note: Oh, boy, way late (for me) this week. Sometimes it seems like the stories I like the best are the hardest to write about. Straker's second life caught my attention, though.

She embarked on her treasure hunt, past the rivers of ribbons, under the lid, and beyond the forest of green crêpe paper. At last, she came upon the object of her desire.

"William! It is beautiful! The feathers!"

He knew she'd like the feathers. The ostrich feathers were what made the dress so expensive, but first anniversaries are special.

Okay, sorry, now I actually had to go back and check who William was. XD;; I guess this shows how easy it is to forget the sidetracks of a story, and I like all the more that you made it your topic. The poor man must have been very much in love, and wow, feathers!

And from those feathers flowed such a sad tale. Good interpretation.

Hah, nice angle!

I like this better than "she had expensive tastes, she led him into sin and crime"...

Yeah, I was thinking the very same thing. Taking the blame off her a little bit.

Hey. I go a bit crazy for ostrich feathers too. :P
