If you fail at a mental health class, that ought to mean you stay in it until you can pass it. ---

Each at bat has the potential to accumulate up to two strikes before being resolved in some fashion…a third strike, a hit, a base on balls, or a batted ball that leads to an out in various ways. ---

I’m sure she’ll gravitate back toward my neighborhood if she’s let out. Not only is it familiar territory to her, there are plenty of Thresholds and similar places where she could land, where she would be “required” to take meds in order to keep housing there, and fail miserably like everyone else who lives there and keep her residency there anyway. All the while hanging out on the nearest corner, selling whatever she can sell and mugging the Alderman for the rest. At least now I know what she looks like!
