Location: Mesabi Landing Type: Small Residence Challenge: Merrynight Mystery Minichallenge It was another day in Mesabi Landing, and Agnes was settling back into the routine of the Horse meat lunches, alcoholism, and explosives misuse.  Merrynight by North White, on Flickr She continued work on a letter, until her two children ran in. Merrynight by North White, on Flickr "Merry Merrynight Mommy!" Said her daughter, Morissa.  "Morissa Honey, Mommy is trying to write a letter to get some people fired." "But it's Merrynight Mom" Said her son, Kevin, "Tell us a Merrynight Story!" Merrynight by North White, on Flickr "Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. Once upon a time, I was a young girl in Belson. It was the Merrynight Ball and your grandmother was being a nag." Merrynight by North White, on Flickr "Agnes Honey, you should get back to the ball. If you want to meet a man, you need to put yourself out there. It's not like you have the looks, charm, or cooking skills to meet a man normally." Said Lady Zumbro. "Mother, I will throw you over this balcony, and tell Father you were drinking again." Said Agnes "I'm just saying I want grandkids," Said Lady Zumbro. "Mother, don't tempt me. You know I don't bluff." "I'll be inside spiking the punch for you." Lady Zumbro walked off. Merrynight by North White, on Flickr "So, I stood out there in the freezing cold, while my mother was arrested for tampering with a punch bowl." "Anyways, your deadbeat father walked up." Merrynight by North White, on Flickr "Hey, you want some liquor?" Said Captain Mesabi Merrynight by North White, on Flickr "Shouldn't you be guarding the queen?" I asked "Nah, I'm on balcony duty because 'ceremonial cannons are not meant to be used against potential assassins.'" "Wait what?" I asked, but he said nothing and handed me some Vodka Merrynight by North White, on Flickr "And that's how I met your father." Agnes Finished "That was a lame story Mommy!" Said Kevin "Yeah, you really should of used more descriptive language, or used some scene transitions." Said Morissa Merrynight by North White, on Flickr "Where the $#@% did your Nanny go?" Asked Agnes FIN Thanks for viewing my entry in @Drunknok's merrynight challenge! I thought I'd use this opportunity to flesh out the background of my characters some more.
