She must curl her hair with coffee cans when she goes out. Her fingers stained with nicotine. She lives in the house where Jenkins shot himself. Why did she put up that fence, what does she do in there? Avoid that house, run past on your way to school. She doesn't belong in this town, I hear she's from the coast, I'm not sure which. What self-respecting 40 year old sports a nose ring? I've never seen anyone do that before. I once heard her tell Malcolm that she chose to be a lesbian because it suited her personality. It's a good thing I don't have a daughter, I'd never let her leave the house with that woman running around this town. Who does she think she is? Trying to get a job at the high school, I can't believe someone like that could get a degree, she doesn't seem like she's played a sport in her life, how did she even get into a university? Does she even have a job? How can she afford that house if she isn't working? I was hanging sheets on the line one day and I heard a ruckus so I looked over there were all sorts of ugly sculptures and unusual projects. I wondered if maybe she sells that crap online but Jen at the post office says that she's never been in to send any packages. My next guess would be that she sells drugs but no one in this town would buy that stuff except maybe Fuller and everyone knows he grows all his own and his neighbors say they've never seen her over there. Maybe someone should call animal control if only to investigate so we know what goes on inside that house. There are always a dozen cats sitting on her lawn, I'm sure there are more inside. Karen at the store says she never buys normal food but she buys several bags of cat food every week, I'm sure that's why she's so thin and sickly. I don't know who she's trying to impress, it's not like anyone in this town would ever look twice at her.
