waterproof. I won’t have to put a bag over it. Sorry if I’m skipping days for there isn’t much to write about. I guess it’s the same old news. I think I’ll go to be now. Good night.
Yours truly,

Dear Anne,
For the doctor’s appointment on the tenth yesterday I got up early. Then I walked to the medical bay which I think I’ll call it anyway thru the fog. I had to knock on the door so Sean could let me in. Inside Sean took the cast off my wrist and examined it. He seemed nicer to me and seemed concerned. He pulled a dentist like x-ray machine and had my left wrist under it. He told me the wrist is healing nicely. I didn’t feel any pain when he flexed it. He told me the shot was a healing medicine to help heal the wrist. Then he told me my wrist is all healed up. I felt no pain or any discomfort. I walked to the store to do some shopping. I was in need of some shoes. I saw Sue there. She was busy at the credit register. I wasn’t able to talk to her. I went to the shoe department and tried on pairs of shoes. I picked one that looked exactly like my boots and it was cheap about twenty credits, I think it was the ghost again who did that because I was picking up boots and they keep disappearing in my hand. I brought the boots the ghost chose for me then walked home. I saw flowers taped on the door. There was a card attached to the flowers. It was from Bruce.
The card said "Hi wishing you a lovely day. Cheer up and don't be gloomy have a happy day. Love Bruce"
I checked my phone messages. I got a video message from Bruce.
"Hi Elizabeth, How are you doing? I'm doing fine. I hope you enjoyed the flowers and the card. Like the card said have a happy day. Love Bruce"
I think he’s in love with me. I put the flowers in a vase which seemed too materialized in front of me like someone put it in front of me on the counter next to the sink weird. Then I watched the news. The news talked about the Penny smith trial. The news added about the snowstorm. I had lunch, which was a sandwich and chocolate. I’m in love with chocolate. I love it. It’s one of my favorite foods. I had soda to drink. One hundred years in the future and there still making soda. I spent all afternoon watching videos. I didn’t have much to do. I took an early shower and I was a little tired from getting up early.
Today the eleventh Earth date, I got up feeling refreshed. My wrist was fine. The bruises healed up. I don’t have to work today. I ate some breakfast then watched TV. I get mostly Science fiction TV shows. I didn’t have much to do. It was Sue’s day off today. I hope she’s doing okay. I sent her a message via videophone.
"Hi Sue, How are you and the baby doing? Bruce left me flowers and a card on my door. Elizabeth."
Life is getting boring. The news said that there’s a ship coming in at noon. I hope there are new people on it. Maybe once I get my license I plan to explore the planet. I went online the computer and did some checking on Terra. Winsted Village is near the North Pole. Canada an hour away is near the shore of the continent. The visitors’ center and both towns are on a continent the size of North America on Earth. The continent is called Pacific. There are islands in the Atalanta Ocean. The islands are used as prisons. There is another continent, which is not colonized yet. It’s in process of being colonized. The ship that is coming in is called Ryder. The ship is bringing one hundred people to colonize the continent. I have the TV on to the news to see about the ship coming in. I found out that there was a person named Winchester who was the first person to step foot on the continent. The news gave very good details of the ship entering the atmosphere and landing on Winchester continent. There was a video of the ship. The ship is like the Christa ship but it oddly reminded me of a tape of a shuttle launch I taped in the twentieth century. The process took two hours. I was excited about the ship.
Later Sue called on the phone, some of our conversation here:
Sue: "Hi Liz."
Me: "Hi Sue."
Sue: "Kurt gave me a cute crib. It's white with white lace ruffles on it."
We talked about work. She’s in process of cleaning the house. She showed me a video of it. How nice of Kurt. I feel jealous that she’s having a baby. I also felt like she was flaunting her pregnancy, her husband and the crib in my face but I didn’t tell her that. I don’t have much to do. I’m bored. Life is getting quite boring lately.
I checked the news. It said that Penny Smith and some prison people have escaped from their island prison. I think Penny might know where I live. I hope not. She might try to kill me. I called Anna on the phone and reached her which is weird because I didn’t know her phone number. It was like someone typed it for me or I asked the computer to get Anna and it dialed for me. I told her about the news saying Penny escaped. She added she’s aware of the escaped. I called Sue and didn’t reach her. I left a message about Penny escaped from prison. I can’t believe it. The doorbell rang and for some reason I was led towards the door. I looked through the peephole and saw Bruce. He had a worried expression on his face.
Bruce "Liz did you hear? Penny Smith escaped."
Me: "I saw it on the news."
He asked me to pack a bag and come over to stay at Vladimir’s house. I went to my room and packed a garbage bag worth of clothes and shoes. I had no say on what to get. The ghost did it for me and I was pulled out of the house with Bruce. I grabbed my journal and put it in my backpack. Bruce led me into his house. The room I’m staying in was upstairs above the kitchen. There was a bed in the living room. Luke told me in sign language that they have a very good security system. The security system is on the stairs too. I got settled in the room. Bruce was at my room door. He told me in sign language that dinner was ready. I followed him downstairs. We had gray cream stuff to eat and gray drinks. After eating I brushed my teeth and went to my room. The room had a TV which I watched. The news talked about how Penny and some prison inmates over powered some guards and stole a boat. They even showed a video of it. They can be anywhere. I hope they don’t know where I live. I like the house. I took a shower. I don’t have much to do. I think I’ll go to bed. Good night.
Yours,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
I slept late. I tried to go downstairs to the bathroom during the night at early morning I saw the stairs was covered in lasers. I also saw a wolf snoozing on the floor next to the bed. It woke up and looked at me and I went back to bed. I was creep out because the wolf had Bruce’s eyes. I decided not to go downstairs and slept late. I got dressed and went downstairs to eat. I saw Vladimir. He asked me to call him “Lad” for short. I had breakfast. I decided to go to my room and watch TV. Bruce wasn’t down yet. I guess he’s asleep. I watched the TV for news about Penny. The boat had been seen and the police was giving chase trying to catch Penny before the boat reaches the continent. I hope she gets caught. I left my room door open. I saw Bruce who came downstairs looking sleepy in his pajamas. He was wearing red and white striped pajamas. His hair was messy despite not pulled back in a tail. How cute. I better get used to this. I was still staying with the Arkov’s until Penny gets caught. I watched TV. The news said the police caught the boat but Penny wasn’t with the inmates. There were seven inmates escaped from the prison. The news says six are caught. They didn’t mention Penny at all. I went downstairs to get a snack. I saw Bruce asleep on the table. Lad was in the TV room watching TV. I guess it must be very popular around here. I went upstairs to my room after the snack of crackers and milk. I got the usual boredom. I went to the phone to check my video messages. I got a threaten message from Penny. She threatened to kill me because I’m not perfect. I showed it to Lad. He called the police who saw the message. The police are coming over soon. I can’t wait.
What a day, full of excitement! The police came and they traced the message to Canada an hour away by flying car. They told us that they set up surveillance from Canada to here. It’ll be hard for Penny to come here without running into a police officer. They even rigged my house for intruders.
At early night the alarm sounded in my house. The police went over and came out with Penny in handcuffs. They caught her finally. I’m glad. One police officer whispered to Lad while I lip reading that Penny may have supporters among the police. It was impossible for her to come from Canada to here without running into a police barricade in the air and on the ground. I packed my stuff and went back inside my house. I waited until the police bomb squad finished looking over the house before moving in. I’m glad to be back in my house. Bruce walked me over. He kissed me on the lips. I called Sue on the phone and reached her. She and I spent awhile on the phone talking about Penny. I checked my video messages in case Penny left a message. She didn’t I’m glad. I pity her, poor lady. I watched the news. The news talked about the inmate recapture and Penny’s capture. They also talked about the weather. There’s a snowstorm coming in tomorrow. What can I do now during a snowstorm? I guess I can watch tons of TV. I think I’ll go to bed. All this excitement has made me tired.
Yawn. I went upstairs and I pulled back the covers to my bed and found my bed sheets slashed. I called Bruce on the videophone and received Lad. I told Lad about my bed sheets slashed. They were in many
