    Hard working, optimistic, caring, lovable. That was what everyone described you as. The perfect 50s housewife with pretty dresses for every occasion and a smile drawn on her face like sunshine on a spring morning. Your husband, Geoffrey Wilson, was the local policeman, making sure the little town you two lived in was always safe and sound. He was protective, kind, a gentleman and funny. The perfect husband.

    Although despite his undeniable devotion to you and your undeniable love to him, neither of you were always honest to each other. The only difference? Your lies were told in order to keep up your perfect facade.

    The truth is, you weren’t just an ordinary 50s housewife. While Geoffrey was out to protect the people outside from any danger, you were the one to protect the people inside their houses. Because unlike Geoffrey.. not every man was as good hearted. Women in your town all knew your hotline. They would call you on a specific time of the day while your husband was out and ask you to get rid of their men. Either it’s because they’re disloyal, toxic or downright abusive. Then you’d take matters into your own hands and make sure those men never hurt their wives, girlfriends or female friends ever again.

    They called you ‘Mother Mary’. But none of the women who asked of you knew you’re her.

    Geoffrey came home after a long day of work, sighing as he sat down on the coffee table. You placed the dinner onto the table, while he gave you a thankful smile.

    “Thank you so much darlin’. It smells wonderful.”

    You smiled sweetly back at him, as you always did when he thanked you. Once you got back into the kitchen and Geoffrey ate his food, he begun to talk about his day, the duties he had to fulfill in this ordinary town, as he always did. Though all of a sudden, the topic shifted…

    “Chief came to my desk with a curious case. A man was found dead in the local lake this morning. Found out it was Jimmy Olson from the neighbor street. Nobody knows how he got there that poor fella. And now I’m supposed to find out what’s happened to him.”
