After a kiss from Linda and hugs from Mandy and Peggy (who were playing cards in the kitchen), we got ready to go. I whispered to Mandy to give us 5 m...nutes then to come outside with Peggy and their mom.Much like earlier in the year, Linda came out, then looked puzzled as she looked up and down the street, trying to find my dad’s car. Then she shrieked when I walked to the passenger door of the car right in front of her and opened it up. “You son of a bitch, when did you get that!”“Last week.. He keeps reaching out to you, trying to find you...” she trailed off, lost in thought.“I guess if I’m about to go I have one more question. Are there others like me and Danny? Who have died and been relocated to this Earth?”She nodded “Yes there are others, some we can see, and others we cannot see.”“We?”“Yes ‘we’ mortal” and out of the shadows Loki appeared and stood with Freya.“Loki, what are you doing here?” Freya asked“Just keeping an eye on our children. Poor Paula here frying her brain,. If you know and have seen someone without, you can tell when they are with.”Marta returned with our drinks. Svetlana told her to please sit next to me and to please remain silent. Each of us sipped, Marta taking a sip of mine.“Then instead of being the savage brute I convinced myself you were, in that very short time, without really thinking it through, you were actually the hero. I need to talk to myself about that. I am sorry for doubting you. I do not know how to compensate you for that. I. As I explored the base area there was a nice park setting with a picnic table close to the river that slowly flowed nearby.A young man was at the table looking at an art book with colorful prints.I asked if this hill was once called Siver Hill and that it did once have a ski lift.Yes it did said the young man and I did ski here when I was young but now it's just used in summer by mountain bikers and hikers.His attention then turned back to the book which actually did have some nice art work.
