Chapter Seven – Explore

A dress appeared one day

On the foot of her cot lay a dress

Crushed royal blue velvet

Low cut, lined with lace

Designed for the most exquisite of women

Made to show off

The darkest secrets of a woman's body

It shone.

Samantha wondered whose it was

A note attached said simply

Explore.

Samantha tried on the dress

A glove could not fit better

She looked at herself in the cracked mirror

It couldn't be her

Her eyes sparkled in delight

When she spun, the skirt flared out

She felt dangerous, dirty

But more beautiful than ever before.
