me not to accept any packages from Sue from now on. Then I went inside the house. I took a shower then I went to my room. I found both kittens on my bed. I hate having to move them but I have to.

Dear Anne,
I slept fine. I came downstairs in my pajamas with my hair in a mess. I found Bruce in the kitchen He told me in sign language that it was his day off from fishing. I haven't seen Bruce in a long time. I asked Bruce does he fish out of the river in the back yard. Bruce told me I'll need to get a license.
I asked him "What are your plans for today?"
He told me he's going back to bed. Bruce went back to bed. I went to my room to write. I'm feeling fine. Outside was snowing a bit. I watched the news. The news said a snowstorm is coming to Winsted. Canada will get some snow but not too much. I decided to go outside for a walk. First I had to get dressed. I got dressed in the same old outfit, boring. It was snowing outside. I left Bruce a note explaining that I was going to the library. It's similar to the foggy center in Winsted. The design is the same. I looked in the library. I found a lot of books on the toleration religious beliefs of the people in town. There was no mention of High Council. I checked online the web site. There were tons of web sites. I even found my website on High Council. There were negative e-mails from people in swear words. I took off my name on the website. I put Sue's name on the website. I figured why not. I got praise from people on my Lance Richard website. I heard an announcement on the public address system. I didn't understand a word. I asked a librarian. She told me in sign language that the community center is closing due to the storm. I walked in the snow home. Outside it was thick snow. I had trouble seeing where I was going. It didn’t help when I tried my wolf form. I could barely smell anything. I saw something like a building in front of me. So I went in. I saw some people there. One of them told me I shouldn't be here. I explained I got lost in the snowstorm. I asked where I was. The people one of them introduced himself as George Walter and an archaeologist. He told me I was in the spire, which was weird.
I asked George "Will I have to go to jail?"
George assured me I can stay but I can't wander around. I took out my journal and wrote in here. Many of the archaeologists seemed interested in my journal. I explained I was from the twentieth century. They were excited about that. I asked for phone to call Bruce. They didn't have a radio. I'm still in the spire. It's cold. I'm sitting next to the heater. I'm watching the archaeologists work. They are using brushes to dust the walls and taking pictures. Out side the storm is still raging. I can't see a thing. I'm tired. I might have to stay over night here. I looked around the spire I was in. It seems to be a triangle room like a cave with drawings on the walls. The light is quite a bit bad. I can't see the room very well.

Dear Anne,
I stayed overnight in the spire. I dreamed I was lying in a cave with a Native American in tribal wear sitting next to me waving a feather over me and chanting. There was a fire where the heater was. The Native American was wearing tan pants with fringes and a plain T-shirt with words "Medic" on it. He was wearing a feather in his hair tied in a ponytail. I slept besides the heater. The snowstorm stopped at night and George woke me to drive me home. He led me to a mini van that appeared in a puff of smoke. Not that magician trick thing again! At home I saw Luke and Bruce. They were worried about me. I explained I went the wrong direction in the storm and wound up in the spire. George assured them I'm not in trouble. Then they went to bed. Bruce kissed me on the lips. I took a shower. The bathroom smells of fish. I got to get used to the fish smell. I went to bed. I felt tired. I wonder when Bruce will quit fishing. I wonder why Bruce fishes when he hates it. I feel tired yet I took a nap for having a headache. My head is a little okay. Maybe I could buy some headache medicine.
I went to work at the store Moon, and I had a twenty minute break time at work. I ate dinner. Someone put health food in the snack machine. There are foods I can eat. I had to buy a drink because the drinks are bad for someone who has diabetes. I brought a broccoli drink. It does taste like broccoli. I saw George today. He brought some clothes at the credit register. I checked the news. The news talked about the house bombing. They mentioned the police haven't found any suspects. They mentioned about me being alive and in a disclosed location. Then they talked about the garbage can bombing. The police in Winsted arrested Sue. She was given a slap on the wrist for conspiracy for trying to bomb the house. Sue maintained she was innocence. She didn't know she was carrying a bomb in the package. The jury didn't buy her innocence. They showed videos of the case. Sue's punishment was a slap on the wrist. Then the news talked about the shuttle reaching Winchester continent safely. Work was not fine. There were several arrests. The power went out and several people tried to shoplift. I'm annoyed. The customers were a little messy this time. They would pick up a book and put it back in the wrong place or put it back wrong. I did my best to clean up after them. Some customers were rude to me. I think they were from Winsted. I checked the schedule. I’m working tomorrow. Anna drove Lea and I home. It was great to be home.
Yours truly,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
I was in the kitchen waiting for lunch to cook when the kitchen light blinked. I checked it was the phone. I let the message pick up the phone. It was Sue. She wanted to know how I was doing. She added she was sorry for giving me the bomb package. I went to eat my lunch. I had milk to drink. Victoria is sitting in my lap. I'm bored. I feel I'll have a boring afternoon.
I went to work and what excitement. There were several arrests. Several people from Winsted came and protested outside the store. They wanted me fired. Lea had them arrested. I recognized Sue among them. I had a talk with her. I told her what would happen if her child were born deaf. She explained she'd kill it. Then the police came and arrested the protesters. There were twenty in number. Then I went back to work. The customers were polite to me. Many of them signed to me. I found out from Anna today that she got promoted as a manager. She worked as a manager in the Winsted store. The power went out. When the power went out I taped by journal to my leg and left it there. Then I went to the front store to see what I could do. Lea asked me to examine all the customers leaving the store. It meant patting them down like cops. I saw a lady with a big chest. She refused to be patted down. The cops came and they patted her down including touching her on the chest. They found some stuff hidden in her top. Stuff like a t-shirt, several watches, and videos. The lady was arrested. Her big chest was due to the stuff she hid in her top. Her chest is on the small size like mine. My chest is on the small size. I don't feel comfortable writing down private part words. I refer private parts as area or chest. Then I walked home. Anna and Lea were working until midnight. I called the Cab Company and received no answer.
Then I called home and received a video message from Bruce "Sorry we can't come to the phone now, leave your message after the beep."
It was scary walking home. I felt like I was waving around plants like cactuses and being guided by my mom with my dad holding a flashlight. When I came to the house it looked like a bloody tent. I blinked and it turned into the house. I can't wait until I'm twenty-one. I was sure a car followed me home because I could hear something suspiciously like a car motor behind me while wearing my hearing aids. At home I arrived safely. I took a shower. I'm too shaken to sleep.
Shaken,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
I watched the news. I'm surprised the news is on at all hours. I checked the channel I'm watching. It's an all news channel. The news talked about the arrests at the store. They added Sue is in the hospital. She went in premature labor. They managed to stop her labor. She'll be staying for a few days. I don't know about the protesters. I could visit Sue but I'm not in the moo
d to see any of her perfectionist friends. Hmph. I should be going to bed but I'm a little shaken up. Sigh. Good night, I mean good morning. I felt fine except I felt like I was sleeping on a cot with a sleeping bag on me. It sure didn't make any sense but I'm okay. I had awhile before my shift starts tonight. I hope I'll be able to drive myself home someday. I can't wait to quit my job. I think I might visit Sue in the hospital.
I made the visiting hour but I had to stay less than thirty minutes. It takes twenty minutes to walk to the store from home especially thru that fog. It was a waste of time visiting Sue in the hospital. She was annoyed to see me. Sean was there. He had a look of disgust on his face.
I said "Hello".
Sue didn't talk to me. I miss her. I'm sad I lost her. I left to work. I did a little shopping. I shopped for a pad and pencil. I think I'll try to draw some scenery by myself. It'll give me something to do. I'm bored with this job. I can't wait to teach a class. I could teach Earth history. Most of the people here know sign language. It's nice that they know sign language. I have no trouble understanding them. The customers were neat today. They mostly signed to me. The news crew came and asked Anna some questions.
