Summary: In which one Helen Burman, age 70-something, wreaks havoc on her convalescent home with the help of an accomplice, some dogs, and a turkey.
Author's Note: First, everyone in my class was given and picture of an old woman (the same old woman) and 7 questions we had to answer about her based solely on the image. She's smiling, wearing a tiara and a feather boa. The questions were simple, who is she, where does she live, what does she want, etc. It was an exercise in character developing. Then we had to pick another classmates character and writing a story. In it we had to include a turkey, an icicle, a bowl of quinoa, a bejeweled dog collar, hydrochloric acid, gobstopper candy, Cookie Monster, and a Nile Crocodile. (wtf, right? Well that's why those words are bold.) Helen Burman was created by Noel Balon.
