Friday Fictioneers – FF – 8/10/2013 “Just like Marilyn?” Rated PG13
“Just Like Marilyn?”
Scott L Vannatter
Ginney Stevenson was literally dancing down the street. She did, indeed, very much look like Marilyn Monroe as she spun and her dress hitched up farther and farther. People would talk.
Oh yes, people would talk, However, they weren’t going to be thinking much about Ginney and Marilyn’s similarities. They weren’t going to remember Ginney’s legs (well, they might). They weren’t even going to remember the color of her dress, which was white, by the way.
What people would remember was that Ginney had walked out (well, danced out) of the drug store with a winning lottery ticket of $185 million dollars!

The Elder gal who recently won a big jackpot… was over 80. I don’t think she was pretending to be a ballerina – but I’m sure her heart was dancing!

I bet it was too (I imagine her son’s was also!).

Your story comes across as an opening narrative and that the narrator is about to comment on the conflicts that will turn up, as they often do when something as radically changing as a massive lottery win, occurs. I would be able to cope, I’m sure! Ann

There are a world of problems inherent in winning the lottery.
As a concerned citizen, I would be happy to see what they are and figure out a good way to handle them!

I would gladly dance in the street in a tutu for that amount of money… (which proves that I’m only in it for the money I guess)
