Chapter 1 - Square Roots, Mary Sue, and a drug addict

&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&

It was a cold, gloomy, rainy night and an old couple, Ray and Fannie May Pinner were in their home in Louisiana with two of their grandchildren, Kate, age 9, and Chen, age 6. Ray was in the living room, explaining square roots to Chen.

"So, you see, sonny,"

he said,

"Three is the square root of nine. All you have to do is think, Sonny."

Chen had no interest whatsoever, but was perplexed non-the less. What the heck was a square root?

"What's a square root, Grandpa?"

he asked.

"Well, Sonny,"

replied the old man, "If you take nine and divide it by four, you get three, and that's the square root. But how do we know this? Well..."

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Fannie May was chatting with Kate about some distant relative.

"So then, she just up and ran off on him. He never deserved her, anyway, but he should have kept his son. Now the boy won't even talk to the man. Poor guy..."

She clamored on and on and on, until Kate fell asleep. She woke up to find Fanny screaming and Ray shuffling into the kitchen.

"RAY! RAY!"

shouted the woman.

"It's the drug addict! Get 'im away from!"

"Fanny, you're just hallucinating! Now, let me explain how they work..."

Ray then went into one of his nice, long, lectures about hallucinations. They didn't noticed that they were disappearing...
