July 15, 2020 Eileen
"I threw all the knives away yesterday. Just in case the two of them get any ideas. Not that I think they'd really attack me, not normally, but maybe when they're angry, maybe the next time John gets mad because I say something irrational... Maybe then. It's possible."

Australia, 1998. Eileen is surrounded by enemies: the computer players who beat her at Hearts; the naughty woman who swears in her head; and the husband and daughter who just might kill her in her sleep. Part two of Minola Theatre's BEGOTTEN.
