Into every life a bit of truth may fall. The truths of life fell into mine. This is my homage to the creed called the 'Facts of Life' that Lazlo Zalezac invented for his novel, 'The Millionaire Next Door'. I recommend the story as one of Zalezac's best.
BTW, TeNderLoin points out that "The Millionaire Next Door" is posted right here on the Fine Stories website.

He revels in his grandfather's fantastic stories until one day he finds himself facing the very subject of one of those stories.
The King names her Princess for a Day. The day of Apriltide - the Rite of Spring. She reigns freely.

See also, Free Rein! on FineStories.com. As I said, free reign does not exist... until today, when I found free reign the only apt expression.
