The Helena household.

The Helena House — Ponty Lion, South Carolina

There was an old lady named Helena that lived in a 100-year-old house. The house sat atop of this little 200ft hill but around the home were 400ft fences.

Helena was a tall and skinny woman that always wore black. Everything inside her home was black. The walls were black. The couch was black. The kitchen was black. All of her 8 cats were black. When she bathes, she uses black body soap and washes her self in black dyed water. The only non-black item that existed in her home was her leopard patterned slippers. The black slippers were out of stock.

In the town of Ponty Lion, some people know of her but they have never seen her. They dare not to as people that trek past her home disappeared. She never comes into town for everything. She has one of her black cats do the shopping for her.

When the mailmen delivered her mail, they tossed the mail out of their car window and sped off. Nevermind braking in front of the home to properly place the mail in the mailbox, that’s dangerous. The nearby vultures pick up the mail and send it to her.

There was once a mailman, that didn’t have the luxury to toss the mail and drive off. He had a giant package to deliver. The package was 12ft and 180 pounds. Helena expected his arrival and opened the towering gates when he approached her property. He had to carry the heavy package up the steep hill and walk up 100 stair steps. The front door was partly open. He wanted to drop the package off by the stairs and run but no, Helena wanted him to enter.

The mailman entered and never left. By the next day, Helena had 9 cats instead of 8.
