“You do have a choice. Narrate or die? Narrating is the only way for you to return to your coloured family. Travis, I’m not such a bad man once you get to know me better. I am a product of my family, my environment, that’s all.”
“So, being you, isn’t your fault? Simon, your soul, is layered in sociopathy. Jesus, you’ve drunk the Kool-Aid. Let me get this straight, I am supposed to narrate in a fashion to appease your fragile ego and narcissism. When history is rewritten many years after I’ve succumbed to your wrath, you will be on the wrong side. You are not the CHOSEN ONE—the CHOSEN ONE is nothing more than a psychotic delusion. The wrong side of history will be your final resting place."
Byron Lankfort (the founder), a land hoarder, understood his limitations; and despite his penchant for greed, he knew to stay in power he’d have to provide hope. His hope trickled downward in the form of grants for the arts. Donations that delivered landslides of never-ending victories in the political realm. In the late 1800s, the last Lankfort leader, Rudy, died.
Rumour has it, Rudy was skipping down the street toward his beloved Scarlett when his sandal caught the curb of the sidewalk, thrusting him perpendicularly into the air. Because he was carrying two bags full of lavish gifts for his devilishly beautiful wife, he was unable to break his fall with his hands, instead; his face slammed into the unforgiving asphalt breaking his skull open, ending his life on the spot. Scarlett stood over him. Her heart broke. She collapsed by his side—and died from a broken heart.
Rudy’s blood-spurting departure opened the door for a new ruling family to enter the fray, the Courts, transplants from the infighting of Broughton. The Court Clan maintained the tradition of supporting The Arts, and because of their philanthropic ruse, have managed to remain in power ever since (2019).
