Deep in his sleep, Alexander Goth wrestled with a series of dreams.

"Alex, don't you use that tone of voice to speak to me. I am your mother."
"Mother? What mother? You weren't there to help me with homework. Dad was. You did not take me camping. Dad did."
"Alex! That is not fair! I did not abandon you. I was kidnapped!"
"I haven't said anything about the men you have been seeing since dad died. So please! Just, just... stay out of my life."

The Heart of the Pink Flamingo

The pink flamingo stood innocently on the front lawn of the Goth residence. It seemed like a fine Saturday morning just like any other. Yet it was not.

Casandra Goth, the richest heiress, got married this fall. The ceremony was privately held on the Goth residence. To the surprise of most folks, the groom is not Don Lothario, but Darren Dreamer. Reportedly, the engagement between Casandra and Don was broken off when Don left Casandra at the alter earlier on this fall. The heart-broken Casandra sought solace from her close friend Darren and they quickly fell in love. In fact, Darren confessed, "I have always had a secret crush on Casandra ever since I first met her". Darren's son from a previous marriage was also present at the wedding, "I have mixed feelings. I should be happy for my dad for having found happiness. Yet I also felt that he had betrayed my mom, even though she is no longer alive."
