Flash Fiction #75 – What’s in a Name?

Eight-year-old Mildred hated her name,

so on her first day of school she changed it to Liz. 

Liz brought out a rebellious side in her, but she wanted something with more beauty and elegance,

so on Monday she changed her name yet again.

Isabella didn’t share her toys.

Charity played well with others, but was a bit of a pushover.

Rita commanded respect, but stole attention away from poor Mrs. Williams.

She found herself back at Mildred, which was okay now that she knew there were pieces of her beyond the name.
