Trailer Park Queen

More about Trailer Park Queen

The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the cracked asphalt of Trailer Park Lane. Brenda, perched on her cheap folding chair with a glass of iced tea sweating in her hand, watched Daisy approach. Daisy, a vision in tight red shorts and a low cut blue top that clung to her curves, was always impeccably dressed, even for a trailer park barbecue.

"Well, honey," Brenda drawled, taking a long sip, "Ain't you lookin' fine today."

Daisy sat on the swing beside Brenda, fanning herself with a well manicured hand. "Thanks, B. You know I gotta keep it classy, even in this… environment."

Brenda chuckled, her eyes narrowed playfully. "That's right, Daisy. You're always one step above these trailer trash shenanigans."

"It's not easy, Brenda," Daisy sighed, her voice taking on a theatrical air. "Men around here are like... well, they're just thirsty for whatever attention they can get."

Brenda snorted. "That's why I've got Billy chained to my hip. Keeps him from straying."

"Billy?" Daisy scoffed. "Honey, that man wouldn't know how to stray if it bit him on the backside. Besides, you need someone who knows how to spoil a woman. Like Randy." She
trailed off, her eyes lingering on the horizon where Randy's beat-up pickup truck was parked.

"Randy?" Brenda said, her voice suddenly sharp. "Don't be ridiculous, Daisy. You know he's married."

Daisy shrugged, tossing her blonde hair over her shoulder. "Marriage is just a piece of paper, B. And besides, he's only doing what any red-blooded American man would do –
chasing the best catch in the park."

Brenda laughed, a cold, hollow sound. "Well, sugar, you sure know how to play the game. But remember, Randy ain't worth your time. He's just as trashy as the rest of them and he loves his Budweiser more than a healthy bit."

Daisy smiled, a knowing glint in her eye. "That might be true, Brenda. But he has a taste for the finer things – like me."

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows that swallowed their words and secrets alike. Brenda watched Daisy strut away, a goddess of trash and dreams, knowing
they were both playing the same game, just on different levels.
