Miss Emily Grierson replied to Rose Grierson 30 years ago: Don’t worry about me and please don’t bother coming all the way over here on my account. I am fine I just need some time to myself. In fact, I feel as though he never even left.


Rose Grierson wrote 30 years ago: I heard about Homer. I am sorry for your loss cousin. If I may say so, you are way too good for him anyways. I will visit you soon.


Homer Barron wrote 30 years ago: I’m sorry, please don’t be upset. I will visit again this weekend. I’ve just been busy with the boys lately.



Since Miss Emily obviously did not worry about the upkeep of her house, I made all the dates 30 years in the past to emphasize her lack of maintenance. Her status is a method of warding off anyone who may want to visit her and stumble upon her secret. She would have limited pictures and they would have been posted by other people. For her profile picture I tried to find one that illustrated how the townspeople saw her: just a silhouette in the window. I made her relationship status complicated because she has just killed Homer Barron and has been sleeping with him and if that isn't complicated, I don't know what is. She only has a few friends. I created names for her two cousins. I purposefully did not include her servant as one of her friends because Miss Emily would not have seen him as her equal. Her privacy is set at private because she clearly does not want the town involved in her affairs. She is in the Group The Grierson Family because she is very proud of her family name and the weight that it carries. Her first post is from Homer Barron saying he is sorry that he has been away. This was posted when he went away for awhile right before she killed him. I made it sound as though she was upset about him leaving her. The other one is from her cousin and it shows the high and mighty attitude of the Griersons. The final one is Miss Emily's response, clearly making sure her cousin does not visit. Her reply also indirectly suggests his continued presence in her life even though he has supposedly "left her."
