Some rough notes about my upcoming story line. Ignore this post or comment, your choice.Scene: Grouchy is babysitting Aeris and Genova, twin daughters of Gregory Oldman and Cassandra Goth-Oldman. Aeris brings an old photobook to Grouchy and they begin looking thru it."Uncle Grouchy, who's this picture of? It's fuzzy. "
"That's me, back in 1970. It was taken shortly before I left college."
"Who's that lady next to you?"
"That's your grandmother."
"You knew Grandma back then?"
"Yeah, and your Grandfather too."
"Is that him?"
"Yes, that's ol' Mort Goth himself."
"Who's that's other lady?"
"That's my wife, Marla. You never met her. She passed away before you was born."
"She's pretty."
"You should have meet her in person. She was so beautiful in her own special way. "
Grouchy's eyes mist over. His fingertips trace over the faces in the photos. "My darling Marla. She would have loved you. She loved children. It's a shame she couldn't have her own. If only...."
"Only what?" The child's face turned up, a question forming on her lips.
"Well, err... I guess you're old enough to understand. But to tell it right, I should tell you about Marla herself."
