Linda’s Dreadful Dark Tales – Fanny Farah Farkentelli – Zoomers.

 

Young Fanny Farah Farkentelli was born in San Francisco near Haight Street to a well to do family that had roots in Italy. Her mother made clothing and hats and she made Fanny a fabulous accordion dress for her sixth birthday. Her father who worked for the newspaper took the above picture the night before as they were all going to the Opera House to see Enrico Caruso sing. Fanny loved the dress so much that she wore it to bed after they got home much to the chagrin of her mother. She tossed and turned all night long with dreams of ice cream and arias in her head.

“John began working at McDonald’s as a “fry boy” and Big Mac’edhis way up the corporate ladder until the day he died. In the latter years of his employment he used to come in early and get his small senior-priced coffee for 58 cents instead of the usual dollar and wonder why things had changed so much over the years.”
