4/17 prompt

Found a prompt yesterday that I liked:
Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice, opens with the line: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
Start your story about something completely different with a sentence that follows the same format, filling in the blanks with your own ideals: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a _____ in possession of a _____, must be in want of a _____."



It is a truth universally ackowledged, that a pirate in possession of a ship, must be in want of an adventure. Ellana Smith was such a pirate. Following in the steps of her hero, Guybrush Threepwood, Ellana dared to sail off the coasts of the American colonies, preying off merchant ships that dared to cross her path.
At least, that's what she told herself in her dreams.
In truth, young Ellana was a personal maid aboard the Salander, the finest of Lord Fairfax's ships. Ellana's mistress, Lady Fairfax, had given her over to the ship's Captain during the voyage to ease the workload. Instead of the cutluss and pistol she craved, Ellana had a brush and a couldron with potato peelings cooked on the bottom. Trapped in the closet of a room, she stared out of the small port window to the greying skies beyond.
"You haven't finished yet?!"
Ella jumped as the ship's cook bustled in on her daydreams. The man's skin was taughtly stretched across his bulbous frame.
"No, sir." Ellana said, lowering her face. The sharp slap to her back was almost painless.


... and that's it XD
As for the prompt, what would you fill in the blanks with?



Other random ideas:

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a college student in possession of a college loan, must be in want of a job.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a blue dog in possession of a law degree, must be in want of a client.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a child in possession of a dream, must be in want of nothing.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that any average intelligence individual in possession of a televison, must be in want of something half decent to watch on Saturday nights.

Have fun!
