sadness

this is the plotline for a really sad story. i wrote the plotline a long time ago and would organise things differently nowadays to emphasize certain issues and deemphasize others. it was aiming toward the bizarre relationships and events that can happen in seeming isolation (a place where you are isolated because you are from a different language/culture).

man - 18 woman - 16 child - 0 tight family. alone in a foreign country. they don't understand. that doesn't understand them. they don't speak the language.
man - 22 20 child - 4 comes home many nights beaten. broken on the streets. shy. alone. shunned by the other children because she doesn't speak english. teased.
23 woman - 21 5 takes child out of school. teaches child herself. MAN starts to take PCP. decline into insanity.
30 28 12 first witness man on PCP and/or sees man takes drugs. becomes frightened.
32 woman - 30 14 starts taking pills to fall asleep. financial troubles.
