The Wormwood Legacy 1.3
After Ben's untimely death, which was ruled accidental(thank you for your concern), many kind and handsome people came by to console me. I was appropriately aggrieved and wearing my funeral best. It was time for a new look for me, I dug into my collection of wigs and decided to be a blonde this time.
I was so upset! Nobody bothered to mention to me that in order to collect life insurance you had to be MARRIED to the deceased. I planned to appeal this. It wasn't fair. I was practically his only family. I even buried him out back until I had enough money for a crypt to be constructed.
Mr. Tellerman the insurance broker dropped by and expressed his condolences before I could change my clothing. I was quite taken by his rugged good looks. He undressed me with his eyes. He muttered something about a woman named "Jan" and had to run off suddenly before I could get to know him better. Then the most interesting man walked down the sidewalk.
"Hello, my name is Goopy."
"Are you sure?" I asked incredulously.
He blushed, "It was a family name passed down. I've dealt with it in my own way. Your hair is marvelous by the way. You can't even tell it's a wig without looking at your eyebrows." I invited him in.
"I really like your shoes too. You've got awesome taste Renee. Do you use SimMac makeup?"
"Oh no, this is all me." I lied and he knew it. "What job do you do?"
"I'm an Inventor."
"That sounds... lucrative."
"Only if I make something that patents and sells well. I'm pretty poor, but I have this big deal lined up. I want to make lots of money, so I want to start a new life."
"That's all I ever wanted too! Oh Goopy, that's why I moved here, to get a fresh start, to get away from those disapproving glares and gossiping voices. I think we might be able to do that together..." I paused, "Are you feeling up my hair?" He just moaned against me.
