a Typical Day at the Westfall Manor

Young, bright and beautiful Rebecca sits at the living room desk focused intently on a writing assignment for her English 485 class. All of a sudden, something outrageously strange interrupts her work. From the kitchen rises a cackle: high pitched, nearly squeeching. It sounds almost like a witch laughing cooly as she stirs a pot of little boy and girl stew. Rebecca pauses for a minute, looks at her fat hamster of a dog who wakes from her nap to cock one ear up for listening. The two exchange boring glances and shrug. Oh, it's just Bill.

Rebecca yawns and starts typing again. Roxie goes back to her 12 hour nap. Then, from the next room another voice carries. "Hee hee hee I've never vacuumed a REAL person before!!" Rebecca and Lady Roxeanna look at each other, and this time decide that they must travel into the kitchen to investigate. No matter how frightening the image that greets them may be, they must take a risk. After all, it could make for a good story.

O friends, the update to this story is awesome, and it didn't happen until 3 days after Becca posted this...

My mom and Bill are now engaged. We will have a step sister whom we really don't know.
