Over the Hill/ 20 years later challenge
Mothership
Words: 115




“Damn woman. Ought to send me a thank you note. If I hadn’t fired her, she’d still be prosecuting cases with McCoy,” spewed the old man, wizened countenance pugnacious and malignant, eyes mere slits in wrinkled folds of flesh.

He glowered at the image of a still beautiful blonde woman standing before a cheering crowd. The caption across the screen read, “ New York Governor-Elect, Serena Southerlyn.”

“Did you vote for her, Mr. Branch?” The nursing attendant asked.

“Hell, no. Think I’d vote for a damned lesbian?” Arthur wheezed, overcome by a spasm of coughing.

His attendant only smiled and handed him some water, the rainbow bracelet on her wrist catching the light of the TV screen.

Thank you. So glad that you liked it *bg* And I do have high hopes for Serena to get her revenge on Arthur in a big way one of these days...this seemed as good a way as any ;)

Serena as governor is awesome, and I love the nurse's bracelet. That's clever.

Great job.

Thanks Kate *bg* So glad that you liked. Seemed like the perfect picture...Arthur old and decaying in a home and Serena in the Governor's mansion ;)

And Serena probably gloating. She should be gloating. If she's not, I'd have to be sad. ;)

And for Lt Governor? Would it be Finn to keep her street-wise?
