The stage was illuminated by spotlights. The quartet that had been playing struck up some chords and a man in a tired suit appeared on the stage. “...Tonight’s star performance is about to begin, ladies and gents,” he said. “I know you’ll enjoy it. Please welcome Miss Mitzy!” There was a drum-roll. Em looked at her companion and said to him, “I’ll bet you the next drink Miss Mitzy’s a stripper.” “Looks like it,” he said. His name was Tom, that’s all Em remembered. They’d probably exchange. I was in the care of Sarah thecook and Ann the maid, and went to school as usual.

I gasped."Alas no," he replied, "I am sorry to tell you they are dead, killed whentheir chaise overturned."I broke down and wept bitterly for I loved them dearly and my world wasshattered. I remember little of the. I'd never even imagined playing that kind of doctor when I was his age.To say I was shocked would have been overstating the obvious. Surprised? No, not really. There'd been plenty of indications over the years telling me that this was possible, if not inevitable.Was I upset? Fuck yeah!Under different circumstances I'd have secretly been proud as hell. What father wouldn't be thrilled to know his ten year old son was getting blown? But these were some very odd circumstances.And it was my eleven. “It’s true Teresa, how long has it been a few years maybe?” Tracy replied “Tracy get off my back about this, this is your response to everything…I’ll talk to you later.” Once again, Tracy was telling Teresa the truth, it has been a long time and maybe she was right. Teresa came to the realization that she has not really been happy since she graduated college and entered the fashion industry. It has been fight since then and she has not been happy at all. Maybe it was time for a change as she.
