Day 1

After fleeing from her abusive husband Deidre is determined for a new start in Bridgeport with the kids. But with only $100 to her name, will their new start be as fresh as she hoped??



When they arrive, the air is thick with smoke and fog. Smog.
Lauren starts complaining straight away- Rachel is just happy that there is space for her pet Goldfinch, Poe. And Nico doesn't care as long as he has Peaches, his imaginary friend.
Almost immediately, Deidre jumps into the rubbish piles and begins to dig through. Rachel begins to play with Poe- he bites her. Nico begins to play with Peaches and Lauren, of course, heads off to a dive bar.



The day passes by uneventfully. Deidre decides to go to the supermarket. She buys two apples, two tomatoes, lettuce and honey. She gives everyone one piece of vegetable and she plants the rest. Realizing she needs to make more more money, Deidre leaves Lauren in charge of the kids (Lauren drained the dive bar of juice) and she heads off to go dumpster diving.


The day is over.

Note: I don't have the money count, as I'm reciting these days from memory.
