Unfamily
A financial disruption alters a family forever.
The clash over the diamonds came to a head.
“No! Goddamnit! I said I wanted the diamonds! You didn’t even love her. You didn’t even know her….” Shrieked Mengela Mortin.
“Whatever, you didn’t even have the sense to show up to the memorial on time,” Della Mortin said.
“We’re trying to get to a point where we know that we can be civil about this,” Job Mortin said.
“Shut up!” They both yelled at him.

Chanda sent home money every two weeks. In a small village in India, she deposited money into the bank account of her Aunt and Uncle who sent her to live in America. The place seemed so remote, almost cut off from the rest of the country. There, a festival took place where participants hurled cow eliminations at each other. The muddy, mucky sense of it had been known for centuries. Locals tied it to an ancient god who they believed restored people’s health with the cow plops. During the festival, thick patties hurled through the air and smushed into the bodies and faces of those rollicking around in the filth.

So You Decided To Become a Nurse Practitioner:
So you decided to become an "Advanced Practice" nurse. Congratulations!... is what I would say if this was a good idea. Grad school? In this economy? What were you thinking? Likely it was something along the lines of either 1) “I've seen these other chucklefucks do it— Why can't I?” or even 2) “I've got a nice career, I should shake it up. I miss feeling like I have no clue what I'm doing.”
