10/19/2024 I started working on this. Actually, before. But I don't remember the date.
Timberwood: Short Stories Edition - Vol. 44
One day, we went to this unique international buffet restaurant. I, Nola Bordelon, was sitting at the table with Garfield, Brian Lucas & 1 of Garfield's granddaughters. I probably was on my 2nd plate of food, while everyone else at the table was done eating because they eat faster than me. I guess I eat too slow. There was chatter, & Garfield & Brian were gossiping about their "crazy" ex-wives.
My mind drifted off into a daydream, with miscellaneous, random thoughts that I don't remember. All I know, was that I was snapped back into reality when Brian told Garfield, "Hahahahaha! She divorced me because her mental illness couldn't handle ME!" & then he had the CREEPIEST, evil laugh! To be honest, that made my stomach churn. I was disgusted. But Garfield was both bewildered & amused at the same time. He was eager to soak in more information about Brian's ex-wife, Antoinette. They gossipped more & more about their ex-wives.
Garfield started to get a little messy & wanted to deep dive into why & how Antoinette decided to divorce Brian. Of course, Brian smear campaigned & lied to Garfield, falsely painting Antoinette as mentally unstable & crazy. Sadly, Garfield believed EVERY word.
Brian said that he & Antoinette were married for over 15 years. Garfield was both married & divorced twice. He wants to marry Tracie. I heard that Brian had several flings with Tracie during their young military days. Later, it was revealed that Brian would frequently cheat on Antoinette with Tracie & a slew of other women, while Antoinette remained a faithful wife.
A couple of weeks later, we were at a cafe, & Brian's daughter, Brianna (pronounced (Brye-ANN-uh & NOT Bree-ann-uh), surprised everyone to meet Mrs. Antoinette. Mrs. Antoinette had recently been released from the mental hospital. She was obviously over medicated & drugged out of her mind. I couldn't believe how Brian is younger than her, but still controls her & treats her like she's a toddler. Yes. His OWN ex-wife! The grown kids treat her like that, too. Except for 1. Brianette (pronounced BREE-uh-net). Brianette is the scapegoat child, who gets treated like the mother, Antoinette. Brianna & Brian, Jr., are the favorites. Brianique (pronounced BRYE-uh-neek), I guess, is in between. I think Brianna is the TOP favorite & Daddy's girl. They single Brianette out, abuse her & call her crazy, just like the mom.
Brianette looks like a mixture of both parents & is the only 1 who is darker complected & has that straight, Indian (Native American) hair like the mom, but the other 3 are lighter complected with coarse hair like the dad. The other 3 look so much like their dad, that it looks like Brian, Sr. got HIMSELF pregnant! 🤣🤠Even the grandkids look just like him! Brian, Sr. is 52 years old & looks about 1/2 his age. In fact, Brian, Jr. looks a little older than his dad. Ain't THAT something? How do you look younger than your OWN kids?
Timberwood has been trying to recruit Brianna to join, but she's reluctant & doesn't trust it because she knows that the money to "work" for the cult is unclean, if you get what I mean. The cult wouldn't DARE try to recruit Antoinette or Brianette because they are likely to expose secrets like the rest of the outcast clique. Do you think Brianna will cave in & join, or do you think she will keep resisting & keep her morals & integrity? Antoinette & Brianette are likely to be blood sacrificed for the cult. I would hope not.
THE END
