How many women would drive themselves crazy arguing over a game of chess?
WHO: Florence Vassy
WHERE: A park near building 36 (strip mall)
TIME OF DAY: Afternoon
POST SUMMARY: Florence has needs. Needs only a chess board can fulfill.
The lack of reading material is bad enough, but Florence could cope. Not well, but she could do it. There were other things to do, after all. Walking, helping Scotty with the garden, swearing at the electricity, obsessive cleaning... oh yes, there were a million and one things to do in this place if she looked hard enough.
Trouble was, she didn't want to do any of those things. What she really wanted, more than reading, more than a decent cup of tea and Chinese take away, was a game of chess. She'd stewed over this for a few days then finally, in a fit of desperation, she'd broken into the strip mall across from her flat.
Some time later, she emerged triumphantly with a chessboard and headed to the nearest park. She set up the board on one of the tables then sat down on White's side. The pieces might be small and on the cheap plastic side, but it didn't matter. She'd found her game and she was going to indulge in the one thing that made sense, partner or no partner.
