#124 Radio Gannet- Shena Mackay
“Norma had five children and fourteen grandchildren, thus
ensuring that she had somebody to worry about at any given moment.” Her sister
Dolly had a hip radio program. She was the favorite, their “father always
indulged Dolly.”
Her radio program was at “the wrong end of the dial.” Just
like her type lived on the wrong side of the town, Eastcliff-on-Sea. “…Fame,
Dolly knew, came with a price. Like every celebrity, she had attracted a
stalker.”
Norma resented Dolly, was embarrassed by her. “Dolly
inhabits a parallel universe.” Her existence was like an asteroid hitting the
earth.
This story seems like it came out of a notebook, unfinished,
unpolished, undeveloped. At least that's how it hit my ears, just left me with nothing solid at the end.
