Introducing Belle

-- continued from 01/06 --

In Chickasaw County there lived a woman named Belle. She was very beautiful and a little bit odd. She cared only for her books and always felt out of place.

Her father, Bobby Ray, was also a great reader. But while Belle read about adventure and carpentry, her father studied technical books. Bobby Ray was an inventor - a genious, according to Belle; a meth-head, according to folks in town.

Fayline Spears, the hottest babe within 4 miles, wanted to make Belle her woman. But Belle always turned her down. She thought Fayline was a stuck-up ho.

One humid day, Bobby Ray got in his Camaro and set off to test his latest batch at a friend's house on the other side of town.

With his mind on "other things", Bobby Ray got lost on the dark roads. A hot wind whistled through the trees, and he suddenly felt the pop of his front left tire. He made it to the side of the road, but couldn't find his jack. Then he realized it was propping-up a friend's Mustang at the trailer park. The bummed-out tweaker decided to walk to town. He walked further and further on the dirt road as the air grew thick.
