Peregretter
Created by: metrohumanx
Pronunciation: pair-re-GRETTER
Sentence: Mad Shirley just seemed to suck at life. Talked into refinancing her adobe abode by a mortgage huckster, she became an involuntary terrestrial- an itinerant grinch dwelling in her wagonocturne and taking rapid sponge baths in fast-food joints. A 21st century PEREGRETTER, Shirley and her loyal feline sidekick knew every bleak parking lot and all-nite diner where a rolling stone might catch a few furtive winks before being hustled on by the local brain police. Still, life was good and she was thankful for the warm rising of the sun and the maintenance of the public parks. Mad Shirley was grateful when Mister America walked on by...without tapping on her windshield. A home on four rubber donuts was still a home. As the last snowflakes of winter fluttered down, she stroked her cat and vowed to make life better...

He had heard of the Tiny House Movement...now how about the Tiny Tee Pee Movement? He stared around the sides of his van. He could see his invention so vividly. He could help others. He would call them Vaniteepees. It would be Spring soon and the snow would be melting. Then he could open up the roof, even take off the sides. There were plenty of small trees to use. Once he got the trees down, he wondered where he would get the material to cover the sides...but, never mind, it was great to dream. It sure would be nice to be able to build a fire right in the middle of your own house. Those Indians had a good idea. He curled up tighter. He would start whittling tomorrow...
