Tragic Events Part II - Evelyn Evelyn

Lyrics
words to study

Are you crying Evelyn?

No... no... yes. I was just thinking about Sandy. And about Bimba and Kimba. I miss them Evelyn.

I know, I miss them too. Especially this time of year, Evelyn

The year is 1991, Terminator 2 is the highest-grossing film at the Box Office, the first Super Nintendo Entertainment System has just been released and after 70 years of Communist rule the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has collapsed

And on a chicken ranch just at side of Claxton, Georgia twin sisters are waiting for their supper

The farm is old and operated by Alfred McClock, an eccentric man with a fascination with Civil War weaponery. McClock's chicken farms produces over 140 000 chickens a year and ships wings, thighs and legs all over the continental United States

Despite the modest success of his business, McClock leads a solitary life, never marrying and tending several of the chicken houses himself. A simple man with a not entirely bad heart. McClock never knew how to best take care of the young girls who came into his life shortly after their birth, so

he raised them the only way he knew how - in a 2 foot by 2 foot wire mesh cage on a diet of mash, crumbles, pellets and egg booster

One clear September day during the twins sixth year at the farm McClock does not come at meal time. Night falls and still he doesn't appear. The girls and the chickens cry out from hunger.

Days pass and the chickens in neighbouring cage has begin to die. The smell of rotting poultry permeates the air of the hot, humid barn.

Finally, desperate to find food and concerned over the whereabouts of their guardian, the twins break free from their cage

McClock's house is locked tight, but the girls find the garden hose which quenches their thirst. Still half delirious with hunger, they make their way out to the road

Little time passes before a dusty black cadillac Coupe de Ville drives by and pulls over. A tall, moustached young man with a kindly face steps out of the vehicle. He smiles at the girls

'Hello'

And presents them with the first candy they had ever tasted - a Twix bar,

which they share in silent, odd delight

The girls do not feel at all uncomfortable when the man leads them gently into the dark, spacious trunk

In the following days the girls are transferred into the trunks or several other cars by many other kindly, candybar offering men until they reach their final destination at the lake side lodge in Manitoba

The underwood lodge is a collection of cosy, water front cabins with an attached trailor park along the shores of lake Winnipeg

It is also the world headquarters of Budding(?) Flowers Entertainment

specializing in the production and distribution of photographs and VHS tapes for clientele with unique tastes

The girls are welcomed by Mrs Deborah Bouldger, the 52-year-old procratist (?)

'Well, hello, girls'

A women of enormous proportions who lives with her own 3 children in the main lodge of the underwood

Upon finding that the girls have no names she (?) them Eva and Lynn, names, which neither she, nor the twins themselves are ever able to keep straight

'Eva, Lynn'

The twins days of the underwood are relatively comfortable, they are well cared for, the food is delicious and there are many other girls their age

Once a week, photo sessions take place, convivial affairs that involve make-up, a wide variety of dress up costumes and inventive new games. Every few days Mrs Bouldger introduces the girls to one of their many uncles

'Eva, Lyn, say hello to your uncle Mark'

'Heeey'

These uncles, seemingly endless in number, travel from all over the world to visit their nieces
