    BACKGROUND
    
    I have taken a more psychological approach than the light hearted theme adopted elsewhere. The source for the idea of knowing Elvis had some Elvis titles in it. Mine is treasure trove of his hit titles, including the choice of the lead character's name of Judy.
    
    The original source contained the immortal line, "Elvis have you been scaring the checkout girls at Safeway again?"
    
    This line sits alongside Jilted John's classic line "I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chip shop". Both conjure up a picture with a simple sentence. If you haven't heard Jilted John's record of Gordon Is A Moron, then treat yourself and listen to it.
    
    In my background fact finding I found out about Priscilla and Elvis's affairs. That is established fact. But the rest is a fiction told for the enjoyment of writing and hopefully reading.
    
    ONE FOR THE MONEY
    
    Elvis knew the rule, when he wanted to see me he had to phone my Secretarial team to make sure that I wanted his company. But he took a chance that day and came over to my house on the off chance. My Head of Security disobeyed my standing instruction not to admit him unless they had been notified by the Secretariat that he had authorisation. Elvis had turned up at front gate knowing that I was at home. My Head of Security had seen him on the gateside video. Elvis pleaded to be let in and the Head of Security had taken pity on him.
    
    I am a busy woman and frankly Elvis can be a self indulgent bore. But I had to ...
    ... admit that Elvis was in a right old mess and I didn't sack the Head of Security.
    
    I am glad that I didn't sack my Head of Security because it was 2 August 1977. Little did I realise that 2 weeks later he would be found dead on the toilet holding a half eaten cheese burger. I mean Elvis was dead and not my Head of Security.
    
    I often saw Elvis "for old times sake". But I try to limit his visits. I have my work and he interrupts my concentration.
    
    I don't have his wealth but I earn enough money to live comfortably. I adapt music. It was my passion for music that bought Elvis and I together decades ago.
    
    THE CONVERSATION
    
    The overweight and ill looking Elvis used his standard opening line "Are You Lonesome Tonight?"
    
    My standard response was "I feel like I'm King of the Whole Wide World."
    
    Elvis confessed "Judy, I'm Indescribably Blue". This wasn't part of his usual patter. I knew he really was in a bad way because Elvis isn't self aware.
    
    In the past he had The American Trilogy of fame, fortune and confidence. My guess is that having the first 2, and no one to guide him, had destroyed his self confidence. The chickens had come home to roost.
    
    OUR PAST
    
    Elvis and I once had a little fling but since we had gone our Separate Ways, but he still wanted me. I suspect that, because of his early fame, no one could tell Elvis what to do. I think he never got someone able to tell him what he needed to hear. I suspect that Elvis would still be alive had he married me. I ...
