I had an idea that Sienna Pensing from Alter had a sister named Savannah Pensing who would have taken the place of Yorick. I decided against it, but here's a non-canon story about Savannah. It is in first person.
~~~
The anniversary of my parents' marriage is coming up. My neighbor says I have such a bad memory, I will not remember it when the day comes. That makes me feel disgusted. How inconsiderate that would be!
On the day of the anniversary the same neighbor casually offered to mow the lawn. Strange. Maybe he had a change of heart. Hard to say. From what I've seen, he was an emotional vacuum. Maybe I didn't recognize who he really was. This could be his day to show me if he was anything more than a rude neighbor.
He was from Delaware, he said. And his name was Mark. I learned some new things. I often referred to him as "the grump next door". At least now I have a name to refer to him as, if he deserves that respect.
Mark said he got a degree in mathematics. He was thankful that day, not happy, but thankful. One that day of his success, he felt gratitude, gratitude to himself, and to the world, for his success. He doesn't seem so bad after all.
Mark had a kid, who wanted to work as either a secretary or an auxiliary nurse. Two occupations that are completely different. That was intriguing. When I asked Mark why she wanted that, he told me that she said one of the jobs would be her job if she moved to the other realm. She would have diamonds and play badminton in this other realm, Mark described. She was definitely unique. But not the plain old "unique". A whole other category, imaginative and ingenious.
I asked Mark who her mother was. He said all he knew about her mother is that she liked vaudeville. He said this made his kid want to host tournaments to see if any of them could sing like her mother. He said when he asked her about her mother, she said nothing except "She was miniature and born in a juvenile detention center". Quite a negative thing to remember, if she even knew what a juvenile detention center was.
Mark said he asked her if she was ever interested in singing. She only said she was interested in an audition. And she had an audition, and everyone saw a star in her. She was one of their favorites among all the singers out there.
And here's the sad part, the reason why Mark is who he is now. His daughter became the victim of a serial killer who targeted penitentiaries. No one ever knew why the serial killer killed an innocent girl. But it tells me, everything has a reason for something.
Mark said her name was Savannah.
