Constraint Story (using the alphabet):
"Guidelines for a Girl"
Acceptance is rare. Be all that you can be. Can't find a guy? Don't fret. Exceptional expectations prohibit. Find who you are. Got it...great. Hanging with friends. Instead of loser-like guys. Joke. Love Makeover. No! Observe who you are and stick with it. Practice affection. Queen of hearts. Really live the part. Stand up for what you believe in. Taking side leads to tears. Understand? Voice your opinion. Wait for the special guy. X-rated fun. You are who you want to be. Zone into yourself.

*I have a recurring dream that consists of me racing an unseen person around a shack. Over the tattered gate...through a field of overgrown weeds. The dandelion ones with the seeds that blow all over the place. I have a longing to bend down and pick one, taking time to make a wish as if I were a child with nothing else to do. Maybe that represents my overwhelmed feelings. Then, I go around front of the shack, where people are sitting on a tattered couch on the porch. That couch has the appearance of fierce survival, sticking through rain, snow, and the occasional tornado. The same faceless people are always there, drinking shamefully at 10 a.m. Pitiful. Past the front...to the back...back to the alley...repeat.
*My mother once said to me out of the blue, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get." She thought this was advise, so I burnt her Forrest Gump tape.

Assumptions about a small hometown:
*The only gas station is the hot spot for teens.
*The bingo hall behind the only gas station thrives Thursday through Sunday.
*All the schools are in one city block and naturally, the playground is larger than the school.
*The mayor lives in a brick house on the edge of town. His mother lives next door.
*The mayor lives on the edge of town and his mistress lives next door.
*The principal (female) lives next to the mayor.
*A single police car exists, but they paint it every year just to cover a major tax fraud.
*The police car had to be replaced after the eldest cop "chased" a car into a corn field.
*Venturing across the railroad tracks could be considered suicide.
*Cow tipping is Saturday night entertainment.
*There are more churches than homes.
*The Catholic priest sips scotch during Mass rather than water.
*The head cheerleader gets pregnant by the star of the football team.
*The head cheerleader gets pregnant by the coach of the football team.
