My contribution:
Fannie Hooe
Let them think I’m out picking blueberries!
Fannie’s mind raced as she ran through the woods; not noticing her long dress catching on low branches. Leaving a fabric trail.
Fannie this Fannie that. Do they think I’m just a servant? I’m mighty tired of taking care of everyone. She dreaded going back to Virginia. And she loved it here near Fort Wilkins. Beautiful and calm.
The lake! There it is! She smiled. Sweat dripped from her face.
“FANNY HOOE!”
Thornton must be looking for her, but she didn’t care.
It was so hot and the water was so close.

Your flash makes me think how unconstrained a remote fort must have been — except for the lurkers. You brought Fannie to life.
