@ElleGray The female Christmas tree farm owner meets the hunky Electric company executive when she kicks him off her property. She initially hates him, but eventually sparks fly. They fall madly in love, and he goes against the company to kill the power line project, quits the job and moves in with her after they get married.

Is that about right, Elle?

@ElleGray

bad news....here in College Station, TX home of Texas A&M U. the city council unanimously voted against a proposal for a Data Center to build behind Costco and facing a very rich neighborhood.

Less than a week later, Bryan's city council (connected to the north of College Station) unanimously voted to approve a Data Center to go in on the west side of the Rellis Campus of Texas A&M.

I was shocked. A few weeks ago the company declared Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. So, hahaha

@ElleGray wait, there's a twist...

"Martha Black, owner of EarthTrash Tree corp visits her holdings in Maryland, but gets snowed in. Locked in her 30-bedroom cabin by herself, she begins a relationship with Iain, her phone's AI assistant. Then, catastrophe! The power goes out.

Meanwhile, power company hunk Mike Cablearms is charged with getting her electricity back on. He trudges through the blizzards on foot to reconnect her. He finally digs his way to the front door. Martha takes one look..🧵

Show threadLeigh GarlandNov 19

@ElleGray ... And the power goes back on by itself!

Iain spies Mike through the connected doorbell system and begins to systematically destroy his credit rating, create false flags for gun-running and more.

Martha isn't remotely interested in Mike. She tells him to get off the property before she calls the police.

Briefly incarcerated, now divorced and unemployed, Mike returns, burns down the data centre and dances in the ashes of Iain's backups. Years later, Martha dies alone, aged 67"
