A New Character

HELEN

Everyone knows that Helen is the cornerstone of her

neighborhood. She will pick up your children from 

school, feed your pets when you are away, console

you when you are overwhelmed, and bring you a

casserole when you are in need.

She loves vintage clothes and often refashions them

into rather odd outfits, but nobody cares. They seem

to suit her perfectly. She hums when she works, and

and sings slightly off-key. 

Her cheerfulness is contagious.

In spite of her kind heart, everybody knows

not to bother Helen on Wednesday nights.

For that is when she meets with Zeke, Ted,

Sal, Hank and Louie

in the back of Zeke's Auto Body Shop.

There they play a few hands of poker.

And she usually wins.
