Marjorie's Delicate Balancing Act

On the craziest of days, Marjorie wonders what it is that keeps her going... But then, during a caffeine-inspired moment of clarity, she realized it was a blend of coffee, sheer determination, a and a deep-rooted fear of shattering into a million tiny pieces.

OK, the last part is a wild exaggeration because everyone knows that Marjorie was born with only 500 interlocking pieces, and over the years she's lost a few and misplaced others. She's pretty sure the missing pieces will not make a difference in the long run. After all, Marjorie has been overcompensating her whole life. It's what she does.

Left Marjorie at Hong Kong Chinese Food at 1303 SE 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale. She's in the unisex rest room, so let's hope she's rescued before she sees anything she shouldn't. She's also leaning against a wall near the door, so let's also hope she doesn't fall over and shatter into a million pieces, or at least 495.
