Remember! This is a social satire. It is totally fiction. The places are not real, and the characters bear no resemblance to any person, living or dead.  I am an old English teacher who wanted to write a novel and a musical at the same time in the middle of a global pandemic. I don't know what in the heck I'm doing, but I'm too old to wait around, so I'm just doing this thing, okay. I plan on getting better as I go along. I know it's weird. And the music sucks--that's kind of the point in this chapter, but it will get better, too. I promise. Just stick with me, and you'll see, or rather, hear what I mean..
