I was surfing the Internet, stayed up on the waves
Then came a shark, face to face
I tried to be friendly although I was scared
I trifled a bit with know-it-all care
He looked and acted like he was a friend
I was nothing more than a meal, in the end.

Turned off the light
Lit some candles
Only to see
My door handle
Shake and rattle
I think I heard moans
Chains and then some rattling bones!
I parted the drapes on this Halloween
Saw my reflection. Is this a dream?
I look weird, ran to my mirror to look
I’d been transformed to a zombie look!
Friends and countrymen, beware the flames
Of Halloween candles with creepy names.

Searching the library and hoping Marnie was safe at home, Rupert and George decided the talisman would only be hidden in the extremely old part of the library. The Myths and Legends section was their choice. After flipping through numerous books trying to find even a drawing of the infamous Isinglass, they were exhausted.
Knowing Marnie was home alone, they decided to take a break from their quest and return to check on her. Inside, they found no sign of her except the blinking video game console. While George searched the house, Rupert picked up the video game controller and then screamed for George.
There on the large screen was Marnie, standing atop a hill in the distance. Neither boy could believe their eyes. They recognized the landscape from their game playing. What happened to Marnie? Why was she there? They thought their eyes were playing tricks until the hilltop figure turned. It indeed was Marnie, her likeness anyway, but then she mouthed the word “help”.

When they were running you couldn’t tell where she left off and the horse began.
She and Ghost were smooth and fluid on the prairie.
Of course they only appeared in early morning mist, disappearing in the sun.
Everyone gathered, watching. Will he grab her before the stairway ends?
She tries to ignore him after the public argument in the mall, even though he really was correct. She was embarrassed and tried to run down the stairs. Unfortunately it was the UP escalator and she didn’t notice till it was too late.
How will it end? Will he catch her?

If I lived in a fantasy, I might think our leadership would change, and the virus would disappear, but I don’t. The all too real world just worms its way in with the form of Murphy, fate, or nightmares. What I can do, is elect to accentuate the positive. An oldie but goodie…
