their life's experiences are just moments of entertainment."

Based on

As a traditional-gender multi-racial black writer,

I am sharing random personal reflection of American-living households and families of Maryland's Eastern Shore, including my own family sets' ancestors and my legal authoritative powers within family succession as life estate heir and sole heir(From Year of 1940 - 2021). 

 

 

NOTE: The weekly sitcom episode can be found on my META/Facebook, a 

social media page. Adapted from Sherlene's memoir "A Compilation of Forgiveness" also published as "The Script in My Box: A Journal of Forgiveness". Organize your life's Experiences Box.


Main Setting:

A fictitious rural southernly people-of-color neighborhood/town

where in 15 minutes one could be in a major urban, city-like, neighborhood with a diverse citizenship population. Two towns, communities, where households and families become aware of how to help each other, inwardly and outwardly in modern historical times. 

 

Character and Description: 

A large multiracial black family, age newborn to 102.

 

Diverse working-class neighbors including 100% white households.

 

A low-income/fixed-rent apartment complex.

 

A black country-store owner and gas station.

 

Several event venues(a karaoke/comedy club, an outdoor-venue club, and movie theater).

 

A church community separated by race categories.

 

An outdated in-town police station that secretly rules the southern neighborhood, but no one really truly knows it until the recently-elected town mayor threatens to close down the town. The police station has lacked adequate government funding for decades, and the current police staff are overwhelmed including their discreet job tasks.
