didn’t wave when I waved at her. I went to the doctor to get my left wrist checked. I passed by the arch and was in the fog and Sean appeared on my left. He led me to a building with the Switzerland flag sign on it. Inside was a big room like on the ship Christa except it had a lot of gizmos I recognized from the twentieth century. Sean examined my wrist and was apparently talking to someone behind me. I kept looking behind me to see if there was anybody but there wasn’t. It was weird. Then Sean asked me to lie down on a bed and told me to stay still which I did. I lay and felt a rumble as a device appeared over head and with a laser went over my body. Sean looked at a monitor with some pained expression on his face. He frowned and then picked up some cloths and explained that the woman in the store according to Sean tore two ligaments in my left wrist which made it swell and look black and blue. He then wrapped the cloth around my wrist and then the cloth hardened like it was some cast. Then he led me out of the hospital wing by slamming the door behind me. It was rude of him.

  I found a horse and then the ghost pushed me towards it and helped me get on the horse and led the horse thru the fog. I’m wondering what’s with the fog anyway? It sure doesn’t make any sense at all humph. At home I checked the mirror in my underwear and I have bruises on my left side which look like someone kicked me. The ghost wouldn’t let me change out of my medieval dress at all. I’m not in a good mood. I’m feeling depressed. I sent Bruce a call on the video phone. No one was home. I explained I got sent home early. I left a message on Sue’s video phone. I feel depressed. I wandered around the house. I didn’t feel like watching TV. I ate some dinner. I have no idea what’s in it. I decided to go to bed early when the doorbell rang and the visitor was Bruce, which made me feel better. Bruce was at the door. He invited me to go out tomorrow. I agreed to go. I wondered where we are going when I asked him. He told me to Canada the town. I never have been there. His dad will be driving. We sat on the porch steps talking about work. It was awful about that woman asking Anna to fire me. I wonder what’s wrong with her. Bruce asked me if he could kiss me on the lips, which I agreed. I closed my eyes and felt his hands on my cheeks and then his lips on my lips. This brought a shock yet I felt something like a feeling of happiness. It’s the first time I was kissed on the lips. I felt better but I was sad to see Bruce go. I went inside and the phone rang, lamps flashing. It was Sue. She got my message. We talked for a while about my work and what happened. After we finished the call, I got a call from Anna. She told me to she still wants me to work at the store. I’m glad. I can’t believe that woman tore my wrist. Humph. I’m not very happy about this. I went to write in here. I think tomorrow is going to be a good day. I hope so. I hope Canada is a good town like Sue described to me. I think I’ll go to bed now. Good night.

  Sad,

  Dear Anne,

  I had that wolf dream again. I sleeping and woke up feeling like I had four paws and ran limping to the basement where I hid and felt a prick of a shot. Then I woke up in my bed in a Human form. I also got up and got dressed in the same dress outfit. I tried to put my hair up in a ponytail but the ghost kept putting the ponytail in a ball. When I work my hair is always up in a ball. (Oh I forgot to add my hair is now shoulder length. I think it was cut when I was out of it.) It helps make it easier for customers to see that I have hearing aids. Bruce came over. I was practically watching out the window. I let him rang the doorbell and then I answered it. We walked to his house. His father Luke was there. He was upset to see me with my left wrist in a cast. Bruce explained what happened. Luke wasn’t happy about the incident. He led us to a white car that was like a minivan without the wheels. The strangest thing was the car appeared in a puff of smoke like there was a fog. It was weird.

  The car flew in the air. It flew over Winsted, and went south. I know this because Bruce told me because I nearly fell asleep on the way. The car went over lakes and waterfalls. There were tall crystal spires as far as the eye could see. Then it flew over Canada, which was like Winsted. It was surrounded by a high thick wall from the air like the Great Wall of China. Sue was right about the town. It’s a shoreline town. I could see the ocean moving. Luke dropped the car in front of a building which Bruce explained to me was a mall. It has two floors. Luke told us he’ll be back at three pm. I can’t believe we’re spending the day at the mall. Inside was like a normal mall back on Earth. I was surprised that we would spend our day at a mall. I walked in many stores selling stuff similar on Earth. There were new gadgets I didn’t know were invented so soon. It had a third floor for movie theaters. Bruce and I saw a closed captioned movie of my favorite TV show in a theater. Bruce told me the movie is popular among a lot of people here on the planet. After the movie was lunch in the cafeteria. There were machines like the one at Cherrio store. The machines had buttons for what food a person wanted and drink too. I had white cream with white drink. Bruce had yellow cream and a white drink. I asked him if he knew what was in our creams. He didn’t know. After eating we walked around the mall looking in stores. I saw a lot of weird things that I couldn’t explain them. Like there were wolves running around. Plus I saw people changing into wolves and wolves changing into people. Plus there were people dressed in armor with drawn swords. They eerie reminded me of guards who kept the peace and order. It was like we were in a zoo. I kept asking Bruce what the weird things were. He wasn’t helpful. He didn’t explain only said they were newly invented gadgets. I joked about engineered living people colonizing our planet for us. Bruce explained that they colonized the planet for us. I’m shocked that I’m right about the engineered living people. Around three pm on my ancient watch we left the mall to wait for Bruce’s father. His father came at three ten pm. He drove us to a house that was similar to the house I’m staying in. I asked Bruce if the house was the same as the one I’m staying in. He told me it was the same style house. Bruce gave me a tour of the house. He showed me his room. It was upstairs on the second floor. There were posters of my favorite TV show on the walls. Bruce told me he’s named after one of the actors who play his favorite character on the show. We watched a video tape of an episode until I had dinner, which was macaroni and cheese with some soda drink to drink. The drink tasted like soda.

  Luke drove me back to Winsted Village. Bruce sat next to me in the minivan. He held my right hand. We didn’t talk. We just sat in silence. I sat next to the window looking out of the view. It was spectacular at night. There were lights lighting up the areas. The stars were beautiful to watch. At my house Bruce kissed me on the lips then they went to Vladimir’s house. I went inside. I watched a video. My wrist didn’t bother me. It felt fine. I got a video message from Serena. She wanted me to come over at to get my wrist checked tomorrow afternoon. I watched a movie. It was a different movie from what I saw in the crowded theater. The people in the theater were politer to me. I hope the customers are nicer to me when I go back to work. I think I’ll go to bed now. I’ll probably wake up before my alarm clock.

  Yours,

  Dear Anne,

  I had a weird dream. It bothered me that I had to write it down. I dreamed about the mall on Earth. I dreamed that I went to the masked gunperson and pulled the sheet off of the person and saw it was Kurt Deboy. It disturbed me. I decided to go online the computer TV and discover for myself who the gunperson was. I went online the computer. I did a lot of searching. I stayed online for an hour. Then I had lunch. I walked to the stone arch and saw Sean there. He told me to follow him which I did. I had to use my nose to keep track of him because Sean was walking too fast for my standards. I tried to change into my wolf form but someone rapped me on the head. I turned around to see a knight that reminded me of someone. The knight rapped me on the head with the flat of his sword. I sighed and followed Sean to the medical building. Inside he examined my wrist then he gave it a shot from a needle. He was very polite and sympathetic tone despite me not being keen
on needles. He told me the wrist should feel better soon. I walked home with the same knight rapping me on the back if I went in the wrong direction.

  At home I went online the computer TV. I searched for the identity of the gunman. I found it but I wasn’t happy. The computer said Kurt Deboy was the gunman. I don’t believe this. I sent Sue a video message to check online about the gunman. She wasn’t home. She was at work. I hope I won’t run into that lady again. She tore my wrist and kicked me. I’m upset about this. I checked online about the Arkovs. They were one of the earliest explorers to colonize the planet. They worked hard to have the planet ready for frozen people. The weirdest thing is that the computer kept trying to change the subject from the Arkovs to something else like this religion about a god named “High Council”. It was annoying. I don’t have much to do. Outside it’s snowing out. I checked the weather report. Said there’s a snowstorm coming at midnight tonight. I checked my food supplies. I have enough for the week. I hope Sue got home safely. The phone rang and
