[email] Phyllis July 25 confirms seeing Wes

continuing our conversation.... figured it made sense to get 'her side of the story about seeing Wes' and continue to give her support about Douglas....

I wrote...

Quote:

I haven't heard from Sam and am getting a bit worried about her. Speaking of Sam and Iris, how did the 'hunt' go? I've heard a rumor that you saw Wes Keeler in the woods?!?!? I understand you not wanting to share 'what you have in mind' for fear of losing your nerve. I worry about you though.... so please be careful!

Oh my dear, I am so sorry about Douglas. When your husband, best friend, becomes this stranger and you don't know what to do.... oh yes, the guilt too.... it's natural that you hate seeing him in so much pain.... my friend.... the only 'advise' I can give you is to dig deep and find the core of your love for him.... use that as a foundation to stand on... but you MUST take care of yourself first.... at least he is in a 'safe place' and hopefully your love for him can be a beacon in the storm for him.... try not to take his mean or hurtful things personally as he clearly is 'not himself' right now.

I wish I was closer and I'd go with you to the hospital or at least be able to give you a hug.... but alas a 'cyber hug' will have to suffice....

her response July 25...

Quote:

My, the rumors sure do take flight around here, don't they! I should never have gone on that hunt. But Iris wanted me there, so.....This rumor has spread everywhere, which is something I had hoped to avoid. I'm already getting those looks...I am sure you know the ones. The ones that say 'Maybe she's crazy too!'. It's almost too much to bare.

And yes...I saw something in the woods. It was only for a second. I just wanted to forget the whole thing, but Iris won't let it drop. Perhaps I shouldn't have told anyone...

But my God, Kimberly, it looked like him! For that tiny second before I dropped the flashlight out of pure terror, I was looking at Wes. I would swear to it. Oh, how the mind can play tricks on us. I was obviously thinking about him, since the Hunt was in his honor... I cannot believe I drew so much attention to myself.

I also can't stop thinking about it. I even dreamed of him, standing there in the dark, smirking at me like he knew something I didn't.

I'm sorry, to have rambled on so.

As for Sam, it's very odd, if indeed she hasn't responded to email. That girl is always on the computer. I'm always telling her she needs to get a little sun before all that dust clogs her pores.

And Douglas...God, what if it is catching? What a silly thought, but I can't help but have it. My dreams grow continually worse, and he complained of nightmares before this started...

'Cyber hugs', as you say, are better than no hugs my dear, and I will accept them and return them in kind. Your letters are a little breath of stability and sanity in my otherwise crazy life, and I do so enjoy the break they give me.

[email] Phyllis July 30 will still correspond

yes.... it just continues to make sense for our stream of conversation to hang out on this thread.... a bit easier to follow 'I think' but if mods would like different just let me know Wink

July 27th I sent to her....

Quote:

I just read the Aglaura News..... I'm a bit stunned.... is this the 'plan' you've been cooking up?!? For some reason I thought whatever you were working the courage up to do had to do with the Sam/Iris situation.

What a huge decision.... to give Sarah your place for a new library?!?!? I know it must be a bit heart wrenching to give up the Hallow Needle..... I can only hope it is for a short time and that sooner than you think you'll be pulling your things out of storage and starting it back up.....

How far is Princeton from Aglaura? I hope not too far so you can still have the support of your friends.... speaking of friends, on a selfish note, I hope you will be keeping your email.... I'd hate to lose track of you!

I'm sorry your being haunted by nightmares..... with all that is going on for you I guess I'm not completely surprised though... if you want to share what they are about perhaps we could do some novice dream analysis on them.... not that I know all that much about dream analysis but sometimes an outside perspective can help shed some light where there is darkness....

Take care my friend!

July 30th her reply.... yeah! will not lose contact Razz

Quote:

You are a dear friend to me, though we've never even laid eyes on one another. Funny how these things work isn't it? No, I do not plan to stop corresponding with you. You will not get rid of me that easily.

And yes...it took quite some time for me to make up my mind. The Hollow Needle was my lifes work, in a way, something I had always aspired to...but what's more important? Loved ones or material things?There was really no choice, in the end. I could help both Douglas and Sarah at the same time.

As for my dreams...Perhaps I will type something up for you. It seems a novel idea, what with Iris so busy herself. Maybe they will stop bothering me so often if I air them out a bit, yes?

Do take care, my friend,

and maybe she'll even share her dreams Wink
