The Town Gossip

What do “I” think happened to Yvonne?

Well, I’ll tell you what I think. A lot of women around here have been itching to get with Jimmy, and a couple of those ladies are awfully sketchy.

Take Delores DeLorean. Yvonne wasn’t even gone two whole days before that woman started taking food to Jimmy. What a tart!



She was a member of our club for a while, but a few of us girls got wise to the fact that she was only in it for our husbands. Yvonne and I sat up half the night with a bottle of wine, reading the bylaws, and found a reason that the club could expel her.  

Members must be legally married.

Delores claimed that she and Charles were married on the application, but Loretta, who works in Clarkson County, heard that they were actually only “friends with benefits.” Delores only lied so she would meet the eligibility requirement for the club.

We found that out a couple of months before. We were going to let her slide at first, but once she started cozying up to all of the men, we knew she was going to be nothing but trouble.

After being expelled, Delores walked around town with a vengeance. Toward the women, anyway. And not long after that, Yvonne went missing. So… you can see why she’s a suspect.

She’s not the only one though. I work at the Department Store three days a week, and I spend my breaks over at Leo’s. You get a birds eye view of Main Street from the coffee counter there, and – I’ll tell you what – there is more to most of the people in this town than meets the eye.



TO BE CONTINUED


I hope you enjoyed tonight’s segment! I don’t have much to add at the moment. I’m having a blast with this – both the story and the illustrations!

As you might see from the name tag, “Ingrid” has given us an earful. We’ll hear from one of the other girls next. Sooner or later we’ll get to the bottom of this missing person’s mystery!

Thanks for reading!
