bittersweet + chapter update

In the town of Riverdale, the arrival of new mornings did little to change the ways of the town which was, at its heart, a most terrible place. Its residents could plaster on brilliant smiles and live in their storybook houses with freshly manicured lawns and white picket fences all they wanted. But in the end, it would only ever be a facade. It would only ever be a mask that did very little to hide the skeletons buried deep in the closets or the web of lies that entangled each and every citizen of the town.

Bittersweet — Prologue

But, unfortunately, right above the title of the picture the drive-in was showing that night were the words The Last Drive-In and Closing Night. She had known about this change for days, almost a week even, but it still left a glare to her eyes and a bitter taste in her mouth. The closing of the drive-in was something that everyone had seen coming. It wasn't bringing in as much money as it used to. And half the time they had customers, they lost out on fairs in the form of teenagers smuggling their friends in under blankets and in the trunks of cars to avoid paying for more than two tickets a time. And then, there was the final nail in the coffin.

When the announcement of the drive-in came, it came straight from Mayor McCoy's office, and it hadn't been hard to see why the pristine mayor deemed the drive-in worthy of closing. See, on the Southside of Riverdale, everything wasn't as rainbows and unicorns that the Northside tried to make it seem their side of town was. The Southside was where rundown buildings and condemned houses sat, most of its residents living in trailer parks and involved in gang activity. The biggest gang on the Southside were the Southside Serpents, who had taken to loitering on the drive-in's lands over the past couple of months. That was the last straw in the mayor's eyes and the announcement had been made, something that made certain residents of Riverdale very happy.
