OOC A constant work in progress
I remember quite clearly the day I was taken: January 14, 1922.
I was eighteen. For a girl back then, the only good job, acceptable job, was as a Governess or Nanny. And occasionally a Nurse.
I served as all three.
I loved my wards, as my own children.
Oh...
Perhaps I should fill you in on me....
My name is Penny Mal. Once upon a time, I was born Penelope Riley Jordan. A preemie birth to a diseased-whore mother, and a Politician father. My politician Father, just happened to be a bleeding heart. Once he learned of my birth I was placed as a ward of the state in the state of Colorado, where he had his aide keep a close eye on me, and where I would grow up in the fresh air and cold snows of the Rocky Mountains.
I always loved the snow.
