Playing the part of the native, she had the run of the whole house. She held potlatches and rain dances – it was very cute. Gradually, however, her “pioneer” sister and brother were able to confine her first to the upper floor, then to a single room, and finally to a small closet, into which they passed smallpox-infected blankets and starvation rations. Luckily social services had no jurisdiction to intervene, under the terms of a treaty negotiated amongst the children. (And periodically “renegotiated” by Madeleine and George.) One more incident and there might have been legal action – a shocking injustice in itself, given that on those other occasions the car doors were safely locked and the children were fairly well hidden beneath blankets.

In the upcoming year, she'll be able to move out into her own place due to the income from the casino which she'll set up. Right? That's if she doesn't become an alcoholic.  |
If you're trying to channel my relatives, you're supposed to ask why she doesn't get off her ass and do some work, after all the breaks she's gotten from the goddamned government.
Goliath, glad you enjoyed!
