When: Wednesday evening
What: George has left her room a mess...and Elaine's OCPD is about to kick in.
Rating: PG-13 tentatively
Status: Incomplete
Elaine had spent most of the day in her study. She hated snow days; they were out of the norm and off-schedule, and they made everything chaotic...by her standards, anyway.
It was when she emerged from her study at long last, her mind on preparing dinner, that she caught something out of the corner of her eye. Contrary to her daughters' beliefs, she had little interest in snooping through their rooms to ensure they were tidy; most of the time, she was far too busy picking up after them in throughout the rest of their home. Today, however, the scene glimpsed through the ajar door drove a spike of fear into her heart.
Perhaps with more force than was necessary, Elaine threw open the door of her daughter's room. George was not as neat as her sister -- but this? It was unheard of. Clothes were strewn everywhere, accompanied by miscellaneous items from the dresser or off the wall. It looked like a hurricane had gone through...
Elaine's mouth worked in silence as she stared at the mess, her brain even stuttering as she attempted to understand...
God, what was this supposed to be?
