Flash fiction written for OLWG#71
“Of course I do, everyone knows that Queen Victoria smoked herb for menstrual cramps. ’Least that’s what they say… Not everyone knows though that she always carried a knife in her boot.”
“What? She wore boots?”
This week’s prompts were:
- a knife in her boot
- art deco
- start with baby steps
She used the knife to cut down the weed. Who could tell what she wore on her feet? All you could see was skirts.

Oh, and given the number of children she birthed, one after the other, for that matter, it’s a wonder she ever actually experienced menstruation 😉

I’m still working on reading about the famed Cleo. Queens are a unique lot aren’t they. 😉
