III. Nicolle

by Eli Skipp

nicolle will remain childless and independent for the rest of her life, a buxom fireball of a
woman that all the younger women hope they'll be brave enough to be when they grow up and find
themselves childless and independent. her face will never be conventionally pretty, or even
unconventionally pretty, not ever, but she'll attract herself a string of men bent on marriage
and never give in to a one. as she grows older she will bank entirely on her still living friends
and their children (who all call her "auntie") that she grudgingly helped raise simply by being
present in the lives of so many people.

because she is buxom she will wrinkle in a way that no one even minds. she will become jowly and
no one will notice because she was somewhat jowly before. her neck will sag and no one will care
because it's full of the kind of fat that means that younger generations will never feel any
semblance of disgust in hugging her. the whole of her elderness will have her saying "the doctor
tells me i should lose some weight and ease up on my knees, but at this age i'm not about to give
up the drink," and "did i ever tell you about the time i was on american idol, all blue hair and
an accordian?" and "when i was your age i was dating four men, spread out around the world! what
the hell are you doing settling down?"

Author's Note: Nicky is a powerhouse of a woman if'n ever one there were.
