This could be attributed to our women who are fighting beside the men in Iraq. They have definitely picked up the gauntlet and are fighying like men for our freedom. Good one.

    Yes, I agree..They deserve as much credit as the men by their sides. Thank you so much...Carol

What a fascinating take on Knights in Satin -in just 110 words you depict a story of tragic warfare and overwhelming bravery by the citizenry of this kingdom. This is quite moving, especially considering the strict word limitations where you've made every word count. Brooke

    Brooke,

    Some have said that the meager crowd couldn't have roared..but I think the shot heard around the world defies that thought...In their minds, the cheers were deafening. Thank you...Carol

This is so different from your usual story lines. I really like the time and setting. I'd like to know more about the Princess and just what happened. Consider turning this into a longer writing. Good work!

Begin
Good story, picks up steam as it goes, though I'm not sure you can have a deafening roar from a meager crowd. Some suggestions:
The hard fought battle ended, cannons went silent and sporadic gunfire soon followed.

Hi Carol,

I read through your flash fiction hear, nice girl power, story. Good use of imagery to lay out the scene, I enjoyed reading this.

Very interesting and well written---except for the last line. If the crowd was 'meager'(thin, lean, poor,), I doubt it could produce a deafening roar. Leave out 'meager' and it's fine.
