15. A face in the crowd

 


Lori was always told she had that Taylor Swift vibe going on. Of course, she hated to hear this. How dare they put her with the likes of Taylor Swift. No way! She'd snarl her nose. She wasn't a whiner. She didn't have a slew of ex-boyfriends she wrote songs about. Not Lori.

Instead, she opted for the industrial music nightlife. Yeah, there were plenty of strangeness to get used to, along with plant-based foods and shampoo, but it didn't bother her a bit. The weirder the better.

Except, she couldn't tell them that she loved Chick-fil-a's original sandwich and a huge ice cream cone to finish it off. They'd say she might be religious. People like them stayed away from places that were closed on Sunday. Yes, it might have been her one little fault.

OK, so she never finished high school. And her Dad wouldn't pay child support when she went blue. There always seemed to be some obstacle in the way. 

But she made it to New York City anyway. She was somebody's muse of course. Actually, they thought she was Taylor Swift's cousin. Shhhhh... don't tell anyone.

  4. This post is so much fun! I love how you reveal all these key details about Lori as the story draws to a close, kind of like she's been hiding this stuff from herself and is in denial. And the end, where it turns out people think she's Taylor Swift's cousin after she starts out saying she doesn't want people associating her with Swift at all? Genius! The cool color palette is, ahem, killer too, making it all that much more awesome. :)
