Wow, the way things happen. So Raphael knows some people. He’s been around. He’s a surprising surprise. Quite the cosmopolitan. He has been helpful.
We are looking over the digs when men come up and talk with Jacques. Jacques comes over with them. They have uniforms on.

By D. Maxim
How innocent things start!
In this case, all it took was two ingredients: Hank and that old tree in his back yard. The old tree you could understand, considering all the weird stories that have been told through the years about it.

Did he say anything?

Morning had broken.
Saw her standing there.
"What's it like outside?" she asked.
"Total bright sun -- something like a desert."
"Oh yeah."
"You know," she said, struggling with the granola bar wrapper, "if they made things easier to open, I know a lot of people who would be very happy"
