The Weight of Rudine Loveless

When Rudine stepped off of that tractor, fourteen stalks gave way under her tremendous girth. And as she lurched forward to reach around and grab the chain saw, thirteen of them stayed where she had flattened them. It wasn’t in Rudine’s nature to apologize for her wideness. She might have just as well been born a man. And at 6'1", she near bout looked like one from Route 43, except for the unmistakable North side of her, which was really unforgivable.
