Least Likely to Succeed
Edna was never "most likely to succeed." She would never change the world. After cosmetology school, she worked at a nursing home applying makeup. This led to her job at a funeral home in Albany, when families of the ones she had beautified requested her again for an aesthetic afterlife.

Maltopia
My mother in this twisted version of the world I knew, Ol’ lady Ebe, sat all by herself under the same wall map. It was a world where North was South and Anarctica was the North Pole. Now the equatorial zones were obscured in part by the cloud of smoke that she had produced from the cigarette in her hand. Air quality over the southern hemisphere, too, was not good. She had polluted the whole planet that hung over her head while polluting the whole scene in the ugliest dress I’ve ever seen. Her face was no mean contender, either.
