"The Island"

Gossip

Week Two:

Cheryl's departure seemed to have had little if any effect on The Island inhabitants. Good Rose is starting a school for adult education. Katie signed up for the short story writing class. Esther Hoffman-Howard is teaching a self awareness seminar there. She got Henrietta thinking about her life before Pete and now she too is hyphenating her last name. She will no longer answer to Henry. You must call her Henrietta Baskin-Robins to get her attention. Judy, who took the class also thinks the whole thing is a hoot. Melinda seems to be in a hypnotic state when you ask her what her name is. Daisy took the class also because everyone else did. She claims she is a go-alonger. 

Hillary continues to search the island for the right mixture of plant and juice extracts to keep her and Esther's hair curly. Katie can't understand why they want curly hair. She in a rage because her ONE luxury item, an iron, is of no use to her without electricity. Katie channeled that energy from her anger into forming groups and in helping build the stage for the big show. The stage was nearly complete when Judy wandered by looking for her pet Orangutan "Steve", who is hiding because he prefers to be called Howard. The whole stage collapsed leaving the group very frustrated. Evil Fanny was so angry she could be seen up early trying to call her lawyer. Hillary offered EF her ex-husband's services when they got back to the mainland.  

Hillary meanwhile still seems distant to the group as if she were searching for something on The Island. She talks in her sleep and has had nightmares about three boxing dogs. She repeats a phrase in her sleep, "Walter Hines, Walter Hines, Walter Hines", and keeps trying to call South America with a home made coconut phone. She thought she finally got through the other day. The operator said "hold on I'll connect you". Her heart dropped! Was she finally getting through? She explained her dilemma to whom she thought was Mr. Hines' secretary Sylvia-Louise until she heard giggling behind the bushes. There she found Katie and Judy rolling on the floor laughing (ROFL - ya know whaddimean?). Evil Fanny was passing by while practicing her act with Good Fanny (to whom she has begun to call mini-me). She saw Katie and Judy ROFL and commented to Good Fanny, "I told you I'd lay them in the aisles"  - Doris and Claudia's ears perked up! ;>)
