March of Microanalysis Day 26

Microfiction Entry Day 26:

The princess held a ball. She danced, dined, and lost her heart to a suitable man. They married, sired heirs, and waged war upon the continent.


Dang, talk about puncturing the Disney myth. This is an attempt to invert the typical structure, and to make it a bit more realistic. Because what do real life autocrats do, after all? They do war. “Happily ever after” isn’t an ending, it’s a distraction, a “move along, nothing to see here”. Don’t trust ‘em.


Through March, I'm posting a breakdown/analysis of the microfiction I posted on the corresponding day in February. This is probably only interesting to you if you care about the mechanics of writing, or if you know me personally.
