Girdle

He lowers his right arm to grasp the outer lip of the old clawfoot tub his opposite arm girdles his heft gingerly into the sun soaked basin After bracing himself in he slowly arches his head back and lets out a beleaguered sigh There's a deep peace that washes over him the tranquil stream of the faucet lowers his guard as he eases the beer can helmet off his dome then once again fades into the night… —————————————————————— A Gus A McHaliburton Augustus McHaliburton Botched Medical records H’s to M’s 1950’s typewriters A distant father Shame, embarrassment A Jack Daniels helmet Innocent bystanders An aloof obedient wife Religious grief, undue reverence A deacon A Pastor A McMaliburton A Pastor McMaliburton A beer can helmet The stench of spilled beer Stained sepia Family Polaroids, memories The good times, the bad times All times A beer can helmet Capping the moments The light, the dark The lager, the stout Flowing, spewing In and out

I am Lim Eun-woo – no, Eleanor Miller. It’s absurd to enter a novel written by a friend, but I even became the wife of a villain who threatens the empire and will eventually be murdered? The only way to change this terrible ending is to prevent the first meeting of the male and female characters, the beginning of all events! And before that. “I missed you a lot.” “It’s blooming near the Hall, so I remembered how you liked it.” “Tell me. Is it that hard to pronounce just one of my names?” What should I do with this villain who is more loving than I thought? Preview: “No, I… I’m not used to these shoes! It wasn’t just the shoes. In this d**n empire, women’s outfits were very unfamiliar to her – the girdle, the corset, and even the lining of her underwear didn’t feel comfortable on Eleanor’s delicate body. “Lean on my arm, it’s okay to go slow.” With a dazed face, Tashian wrapped his arms around her waist as if supporting her entire body with one arm. Eun-woo voluntarily paid the tax and grabbed his arm before he could even speak. She doesn’t have any choice. Isn’t it a thousand times better to walk with your feet on the villain’s body than to fall down every few steps and be humiliated in front of people? Her only concern was that he became suspicious of her identity when he saw how she was unfamiliar with this kind of attire. If it was ‘Eleanor’, she wouldn’t have been like this as she was a noble young lady who learned proper etiquette and was used to such clothes. Eun-woo walked stiffly with the tip of her toes in order not to arouse such suspicions about her. Tashian looked down at her with strange eyes.
