RIP

Today she wore black.

Something inside her had died.

Danny

Desperate and dirty,

off the edge of a cliff.

orange and poppyseed cake.

With extra poppyseeds.

before venturing out to collect her mail.

dinner was superb
Betty was the perfect host

Betty made a beeline for the bathroom

Where she lit up a bong
