The next day as Mr. Grant’s car drove down Via San Matteo, he commented to his driver how odd it seemed that none of the homes had any curtains.  When he entered the town square and saw his welcoming committee, he knew why.

It had been many years since Kurt had been back home to see his mother.  Rocky, was their relationship at best.   As a child, Kurt spent more hours in the “time out” chair than he would like to remember.  To his recollection, he wasn’t a bad kid and surmised that his mother must have just flat out hated him.  This thought was confirmed when entering the house with a huge bouquet of flowers and chocolates, he forgot to take off his shoes and his mother’s first words in 15 years were to go have a seat.

Leo was a quiet sort.   He married Sheila 37 years ago and knew within weeks he had made a mistake.  Her nonstop gabbing made him desperate for peace and quiet.  Since killing her was out of the question, his only solution was to pretend to be sleeping whenever she entered the room.  He was a very well rested individual.

Beatrice goes to the University of Oregon and has a huge crush on her Molecular Biology professor.  She spends her evenings knitting him socks and secretly leaves them in his school mail box.   When her mother inquires who the socks are for, Beatrice says she is knitting them for the gentlemen at the VA hospital on Main Street.  Once mother has gone to bed, Beatrice smokes cigarettes through an open window.
