Winter is quiet in Solway. Painfully quiet. Not much to do here. We had a small cinema here when I was growing up, but it got turned into a liquor store, which closed several years ago. It's been vacant for years, and I have to shine a light in there from time to time while on patrol to keep the kids on their toes. See, in the winter the gazebo at the park is too cold, so they go for shelter.
My boyfriend, Phillip Whistler, runs a pharmacy and that's become the town center. We're not a young town. There are families with children, but more and more they're moving to larger towns, usually for jobs. In fact, there's a referendum coming up in a couple weeks. That drunken bitch Judy Rizzo. First they build a monstrous house to show off their money. Then she runs for mayor. Ed Webber has been mayor for years, a job that pays nothing. So we voted him in again. And, I'm pretty sure this is revenge, but she gets a petition going to unincorporate our town.
I know she killed Ed's dog last week. I doubt it was intentional, hard to hit a dog on purpose, but she sure as hell didn't take responsibility. Said she was in North Adams seeing 'Transformers'. Unlikely. Not even sure she can spell it.
