Émilie-Geneviève

has a tattoo no one except the tattooist has ever seen
only wears underwear and a brassiere on Tuesdays
never told anyone that her rabbi fathered her child
accurately predicted blizzards in May and September
was technically dead for a few moments, decades ago
licks cold bacon grease from her skillet when she’s alone
occasionally steals from the elderly as part of her job
