Each one ticked at different times to indicate what part of the speech she would be able to fit into the presentation. She gave time for Lisa and then it swung back to her. This entire activity prompted her to stay focused on the task. A sense of stability assured her in this latest endeavor.

In between her speeches, Loreen still collected substantial sums from various enterprises. Now, she considered the actual business of business. Comptroller Carey Dice looked clean and straitlaced. He seldom smiled and pulled from a vaporizer at his desk.

By holding the phone in her hand and talking through the earbud, Loreen could conduct business while also reviewing her bank statements. When she looked up from the mobile device, she noticed that the evening had turned to night. On her desk sat multiple pieces of correspondence.

“We’re in a crisis,” Atkinson sighed. “Most of this country, hell, the world is virtually financially illiterate. I remember the days of the teacher trying to teach about CDs and most of the class thinking he was talking about compact discs.” Blank stares looked back at him at this statement. “You see, a CD is also a compact disc.

Willliam Martin wiped some spittle from his chin and surveyed his rental property from Founder John Dickinson who lived in Wilmington, Delaware. John “Keto” Martin peered at the sun setting. He waited. He had no family as he was shipped to another plantation, ripped away from his wife and children, his eyes looked keen. The night finally fell.

The green of the moss looked like mold on the rocks and trees. It would guide them to their destination in Pennsylvania. The North Star also pointed the way.
