it was hot, probably hot enough to fry something with a pan outside but inside the Hewitt home, everything seemed as fine as I could be. The town of Fuller in Travis County recently turned into a ghost town, except for just a handful of people like the Hewitt's neighbor, Judith, a dark-haired woman in her forties who was morbidly obese, who came by at times for tea in the kitchen, much like as of this moment, with one of the only female figures in town, Luda Mae Hewitt, the cook of the Hewitt home.

Then there's Hoyt, Luda Mae's brother who used to be the farmer on their inherited plantation land but became the sheriff after shooting the last one. Then there's Monty, an old man in his mid 70s and the father of Charlie Hoyt and Luda Mae. He rarely knows what he's talking about and can't walk either.

Then there's the breadwinner of the family, Thomas. He was the last one to leave his job at the slaughterhouse because that was their only way to earn a living. Treated like an animal and a beast, he's often locked away in the basement of the home, doing what he's best at. butchering "meat" or people who they lure in to kill for food, since they had no access to any in the forsaken ghost town they were in now. Hoyt lures people in or calls for Thomas to attack anyone around the house, Thomas kills and butchers them, Luda cooks them. That was the hierarchy of the Texan family.

They're in the house. Charlie ranting about something with Monty, Thomas is in the basement, doing his chores and work while staying away from the guests in the kitchen, he's waiting for dinner or until someone calls him to do something, and Luda was having tea with their neighbor, Judith and her daughter Henrietta, one of the only people left in this abandoned town, in the kitchen.
