It had been raining for weeks it seemed but was the usual week before it would stop. I was 19 and still living in the bayou with my grandmother who seemed like she was going to be out living me for all the stuff she did. She was a short woman with dark grey hair. Hunch at the shoulders and bent with age. But we were mostly happy. She was part of one of the original families to the bayou back in the civil war and through two world wars this was where my family was from.
We lived on an old plantation complete with slave shed and the outside kitchen. It wasn't so bad. The house needed repairing as so many of the house from that era did. I was raised here from the age of 8 years old. My parents had been killed in a plane crash, so here I was living alone with my ancient grandmother. We existed well together, I could come and gfo as I pleased, and she didn't ask questions. I wasn't the typical teen though I preferred ambling through the many acres of land that were still left as part of the old plantation long now taken back by the swamp. I was happy there in the darkesst parts of the swamp and life was beautiful.
Then he showed up. HE was some government official coming in saying that the land was so far behind in backtaxes that they were going to take away her home. I wasn't sure how she had gotten so far behind, but here he was to claim those taxes or evict her and I. It was a staggering sum, and I had been racking my brain for weeks on where to get such a large sum of cash, almost 250,000 dollars. He wasn't relenting and I had finally bargained for another month. But were was I going to get 250,000 dollars in a month.
(OOC: This is an open thread no takers so far. I am looking for something along the lines of some sleazy drug runner that wants to use the property for his nefarious needs. But seduces the young ghirl into believing he is being a good samaritan(like there is such a thing anymore).
Anyway or perhaps A brothel owner that has been after the young girl for sometime. HE has been fascinated by her for some time and now he just may have his shot. Anyway I would like a PM if possible. Also there can others. If it is the Brothel owner who steps up...his current mistress could be extremely jealous and not wish the young girl to have anything she wants. Or the Drug runners current girlfriend comes along to find out what is keeping her man away from her to find the young girl is being helped by him but not know why. So many possibilities
