Summary
"Is everything okay?"
"It's about dad." Oh, no. There it was the punishment for last night.
"Is he okay? I can go to the hospital—"
"Gosh, I wish. No, Helen, dad's… Dad's engaged."
"What?" She tried not to scream but she felt fury taking over her. Her mind raced with the women that had been close to her father in recent memory

Madeline has the perfect life. She reminds herself as she applies her make up in her vanity.
She has everything a woman can dream of: a husband and a house big enough for a family of six with a perfect lawn and picket fence.
She is the American Dream all those men fought so hard for in the second World War.
Still, she’s profoundly unsatisfied.

The Magnolia Princess & Other Stories by simpards for Notevenaproperword

Summary
She kept The Magnolia Princess and Other Stories in an untitled file in her computer and the Word documents were titled randomly as idea1 and idea2. She would wait to pitch it to her publisher when it was complete. Her most personal work presented as an idea to add dimension to the fake persona that was her alter pen name.
Her mind set on writing them a happy ending. Neatly with a bow. One they would never achieve or see come to light, but one that was theirs either way.

Summary
“Hey, Helen,” her voice singsongs. Helen stops typing. Her work for the day is done, whatever Madeline has in mind will derail her afternoon and evening plans.
“What?”
“I read that the Sun will one day explode and the Earth will end.”
“Yes.” Technically it’s more complicated than that, but Helen does not understand astrophysics and the most simplistic explanation probably makes the most sense.
“Do you think we’ll die then?” Her blue eyes look terrified. Since they took the potion they don’t think about death or at least not in the way of dying. They think a lot about being immortal, which is directly linked to being unable to die. Will they have an ending?

Summary
“Normal people don’t continue friendships after having an affair with their best friend’s ex-fiancé. They certainly don’t invite them to be their maid of honor.” She was offended that he would, first think of her as normal, and second that he understood how Helen and her dynamic worked. This was the way they would work through it.
“You’ll never win if you continue to need her,” Ernest said against the glass of his lips.

Summary
She had thought she had finally hacked it. That was until she moved to Somerset Heights.
She is unraveling and her edges are fraying in the wind. All because of a blonde domestic housewife. She wishes she could laugh. Instead she grips the wheel tighter and lays her head on it. Resists the urge to smash it at least five times.
A metaphor of a moth drawn to a flame. Except, Madeline Menville is as powerful as the sun. And Helen burns. Unable to stop herself from being drawn by her radiance.

Summary
The view from the clearing is miraculous. Hills upon hills of emerald green and dancing orange flowers that flap their wings from tree to tree.
“It took you long enough,” the girl says.
“What do you mean?” Helen would turn her head, the view is just too awe-striking.
“I’ve been waiting for you, and you’ve been waiting for me.” It’s the truth. She doesn’t know how she knows this, but it’s the only certainty she has ever known.

Summary
Helen stared at the marquee outside of Radio City Music Hall: Madeline Ashton’s Frosty Christmas Eleganza. She smirked, she always used all this slang straight from RuPaul’s Drag Race.
The program had been advertised as an intimate solo concert to get to know the, at the time, one time Academy Award nominated actress. Helen had received an invitation through Madeline’s personal assistant.

Summary
“The entire multiverse is in danger. We need your help.”
“It’s an honor to be considered, but I really don’t have the time” Madeline felt nauseous and exasperated. It wasn’t even lunch yet, and she was being asked to save whatever-the-hell a multiverse meant?
“If you don’t join us the entire multiverse will disappear.”
“I don’t see how that involves me. I need to finalize my divorce.“

Summary
“Do you want to be my friend?” Helen was stunned. Madeline looked like the popular girls from school that never wanted to do anything with her.
“You want to be friends?”
“Of course! Just write down your number.” Madeline handed a piece of paper and a pen. Helen smiled. She was so glad she had been found.
