Flangiprop! Invent a definition for the word 'Flangiprop', then use the word in
a post. A “flangiprop” is a girl who has moved from a little village or a town to
the capital and who’s trying to settle down there. She has a belief that she will
be lucky enough to meet her Prince (Prince Charming?) and get married. She wants a luxurious lifestyle. But we have the saying in Russia 'You can move a girl from a village, but
you can't remove the village from the girl'. And I think she won't have a happy
end (1). #365daysofwriting #365daysofwritingprompts
(1) This sentence is fine, but I think the following would be better (and makes the story sound even more like a fairytale):
And I don’t think she’ll live happily ever after.
Other options:
And I think she’ll meet an unhappy end.
And I don’t think she’ll have a happy ending.
