We must always honour The Family.
Strong ties have been forged between The Family, and The Sisterly and The Family-by-Marriage. Strong ties that cannot be broken by mere puddles known as “oceans,” and puny pebbles known as “continents.”
Though The Family has long hair and is of feminine persuasion, she should not be underestimated. She tugs upon the puppet-strings of the new media behemoths. She can hold your secrets to ransom with the power of push-button publishing.
The Family has made us an offer we cannot refuse.
She will go to Edinburgh, Scotland.
We will stay in South Africa.
Capisce?

This is part of my 100 word gift series.
Jen is my sister-in-law.
100 word gift: what's that?
---------------------------
In Neil Gaiman's collection of short stories, "Smoke and Mirrors," there is a short story called "Nicholas was..."
It is 100 words long (102 including the title).
In the introduction to the book, Neil Gaiman explains the origin of each of the short stories. Neil wrote "Nicholas was..." as a Christmas card, had someone calligraph it, and sent it out to everyone he could think of.
In the same introduction, Neil discusses how he once intended to write a short story as a wedding gift for friends (although, longer than 100 words).
Inspired by the above, I have set out to write 100 word gift stories for my friends and family.
I then print them out on coloured paper, stick them in a frame, and present them to the beneficiary.
Originally, I thought they should all be Christmas presents -- but I changed my mind on that and just distribute them randomly. After all, why do we need a special occasion to give a gift?
