Brigit's Flame, Week 1: Proud Mary

[lacruciverbiste]

When the economy bottomed out in ’09, Camp Shenanigans was born.

At the time, folks in the city were losing their homes and jobs by the dozen, and it wasn’t just the poor families, either. Dads and moms in suits and skirts found themselves parked on the curb outside of their dream, watching it go to the highest bidder.

With nowhere to go, they all

Wow. Wow, that's a vivid piece of work you've got there. Is it bad that I can totally see this happening?

a. thanks for reading! i appreciate the feedback.

b. it's not far-fetched; i actually based parts of it on a real tent city here in my home state. it's happening all over the country right now.

once again, thank you very much!

There's something about this story that I really like, but I just can't articulate it... *scratches head* There's something about Proud Mary and Jack and the whole camp that I really like. I just can't really describe it...

haha thank you? let me know if you end up putting a finger on it. i'd like to know! :)

I like this story; it struck me as very realistic and touching :) Even though Proud Mary wasn't nice to them, they still cared about her. It makes me wonder what is truly the better society- the one in the tent city, or the one that existed before?

Hello, there! Sorry about the late edit, my power got knocked out by arctic wasteland conditions - aka, a Nor’easter/blizzard. Great fun, that
