Mini 611a - Troy, Meet Helen (Restarting)
Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2008 6:33 pm
I used to live in Troy. You know the place. It was a nice little town; one of those suburban paradise-type scenes where there was no crime and plenty of poker games and cook-outs to go around. Manicured lawns, flawless homes, professionally-decorated interiors, (“with just a touch of Asian flare; it would look so good with your new futon!” she said…I think she just wanted to sell that damned water fountain with the bamboo growing in it. I just wanted to get laid and thought chicks might dig the set-up.)
Anyway, for as long as I can remember, Troy was a pretty quiet, good place to live. Until Helen came to town, anyway. Yeah, I know, cliché as hell, isn’t it? But it happened. I remember the day she moved here, her bright pink SUV blaring down the road without a care for the 15-mile-an-hour speed limit. I remember how perfect her lawn was before she got her neon-green acrylic nails into it. Once she had her say, the grass had pink flamingos and there were more strange people going in and out of that woman’s house than you could count on both hands and both feet.
Then, one day, they found her dead in her own home with evidence that she’d been dating some mobster. Everything went to shit right quick. The town kind of closed themselves off from the outside world, and everyone suspected everyone else, even their closest friends and family. Turns out that there was a mob presence in good ole Troy…but you don’t wanna hear about that, do you? Oh, you do, eh? Alright, I remember the whole thing like it was yesterday…and if you gimme anything more about clichés, you won’t be hearing the rest of the story. Capiche?
