Berganashio - Chapter 33
The darkness of night commenced as a blanket. In a tumultuous panic, the fairies flew from the giant's lumbering form. Obediently, the giant followed Whisper's command to go into the cave entrance. It was bedtime for the giant, so he began to lay down on the leather conveyer belt that was near the front part of the cave entrance. The three totters jumped down from the giant's shoulder who had already fallen asleep; he was oblivious to the world.

The Next Morning
Sunlight spilled across my face, waking me. I rose slowly, a bit slower than usual, probably one or two martinis too many. I’m glad I pulled my robe around my body: I heard voices coming from my bath as I tread through the arbor joining it to my chamber. Sure enough, there my brother was, having a hot tub party in my bath. He took one look at my face and quickly escorted everyone somewhere else.

Miracle In The Andes Survivors
On October 13, 1972, a chartered plane carrying a Uruguayan rugby team known around the world as the Miracle in the Andes. The aircraft, operated by the Uruguayan Air Force, was transporting members of the Old Christians Club rugby team from Montevideo to Santiago. On board were 45 people, including players, friends, and family members. As the plane crossed the Andes, turbulent weather and navigational errors led the pilot to misjudge his position. Believing he had cleared the mountains, he began descending—directly into the snow-covered peaks.

A Quandary in Quarantine
Afterward April dawned with another brilliant blue sky and even more hints of spring. The last time I had met Luce over the fence in the backyard, we had seen warblers, sparrows and even a finch or two floating on the breeze. The lone maple tree in my backyard has also started to bud. I could feel Mother Earth wakening, stretching, and starting to renew herself. She and I were both looking forward to whatever was going to come next.

A Quandary in Quarantine
Chapter Seventeen Eliisa had me cornered, literally. The way she sat, with her back to the door, quite effectively blocked my ability to get out without her realizing I was leaving. I felt for my phone, which was still in my back pocket. If I could just get a call through to Drew ay the police station without Eliisa noticing or overhearing, I could alert him to what I had found out. I casually pulled out my phone, and held it against my side while I kept an eye on Eliisa.

A Quandary in Quarantine
Chapter Sixteen “Libby, are you up for meeting me at the library today? I wanted to get the Teen’s Take-and-Make kits put together, and I thought maybe we could do it together. I think, if we set up the tables in the conference room, we can do it assembly-line style and keep our distance. Masks and gloves, of course! And, that will give us a chance to catch up… wasn’t your date with Drew this weekend?”

A Quandary in Quarantine
Chapter Fifteen It was finally Saturday. I usually used my days off to center myself. I would sometimes read for pleasure, or maybe do some journalling. But all of that seemed so secondary. I was definitely looking forward to whatever Drew had planned for that evening, but when my eyes first opened Saturday morning, my first thoughts were focused on Irene. I knew it in my gut that Eliisa had had a hand in her murder. All the clues I had found pointed to Eliisa being Irene’s killer, but I just could not figure out why.
