The Last Stop - Kirt J Boyd

Enter the idyllic world of The Last Stop Retirement Community . . . where age is a state of mind . . . and attitude is everything! All is not well at the Mary Stuart Riley Home for People of Advanced Years, affectionately nicknamed The Last Stop by its residents, and as one of its newest residents, you have a front row seat. Lead nurse, Cassandra, who is busy rebuilding her life, has just found out that her ex boyfriend Vernon (Vernon with a V, he likes to tell people) is getting out of prison. Ms. Fisher, from down the hall, is convinced that her daughter and son-in-law are trying to kill her. The fact that she's fresh out of the hospital after slipping on a loofah her daughter placed in her tub only reinforces her paranoia. Aster, who has a way of finding you no matter where you go, is in the middle of a downward spiral for the ages after his wife leaves him for the resident heartthrob. And just for fun, new management, led by Helen Watson and her cat, Midnight, is busy changing everything that makes The Last Stop great. So come on in. Just watch out for Holy Moses. He's a 169lb Mastiff and he's known to throw his weight around. He has strong opinions, so try to make a good first impression. He's friendly once he gets to know you, but he'd gladly give Charley Manson and all his followers your room key for a chunk of medium cheddar. The Last Stop Bulletin, delivered weekly to your door, will keep you up-to-date on all activities and community news. Just try to stay out of The Hot Seat. That's Beverly up there waiting for you. She'll take you through Orientation and get you settled. Just don't ask her why she never fed the fish. If you've made it this far, you'll fit right in.
