You could take this in lots of different directions.

Writers are increasingly breaking out of the traditional mould, creating fresh narratives that sustain the reader's attention. Well executed in your story. There are possibilities to take this theme/storyline further like Denise said. You may continue with Milicent's character or not. You may consider creating an entirely new story by stretching the theme and building the plot further to see how far it goes. Whatever you decide, you've certainly got our attention and support:)Adura Ojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787703060107491771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596586419077019479.post-32052874984263709162014-09-26T06:15:28.883-07:002014-09-26T06:15:28.883-07:00The first poem was from something a few years back...The first poem was from something a few years back that I tweaked a bit for this prompt and then followed it up.

Don't all women want to do a Millicent once in their lives? Away from the responsibilities and the ho hum? As Nancy says, you could extend this. Maybe you could go creepier and it could work for Ghost Story. My favourite line: '...she would change things about her life but she would still be Millicent.' This is hard for some people to understand, especially those who resist change.<br /><br />As always, Sally, thanks so much for posting for WEP. And for surprising us with your endless creativity.<br /><br />DeniseDenise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596586419077019479.post-50211272186880147402014-09-25T15:43:06.673-07:002014-09-25T15:43:06.673-07:00Hi Sally

Does she remember who she is once the other person takes control? Is there a struggle? Does she have periods of confusion or metal illness? So many possibilities. I can see this becoming a longer story. Great job.<br />NancyN. R.

Is that why we have deja vu? Tasty to contemplate that we might have been before this incarnation. Well done and this held me right to the end, Sally!D.G.
