A sick aunt

Alana has a sick aunt residing on the upper east side. She’s elderly and has mobility and other issues. Mentally she’s still sound. They’ve been using Zoom to communicate during the Covid-19. Her aunt told her how she’s been getting her groceries delivered. She noted that her recent delivery contained several free boxes of raisins and some apricots.

Alana’s mind quickly thought of Anat. She started to twitch. She asked if all of the groceries were wrapped tightly and if she ate any of the food. Aunt Matilda said yes. She said she felt fine.

Alana ran this my Marc. They remembered seeing Anat all cleaned up during the Weird Wolves online gig. Could she now be helping people? Could she be trusted? Did their beating of her a few weeks ago change her? Many questions need to be answered. The two of them needed to get out of QT.

Anat in her mask and rubber gloves continued her grocery deliveries. She always added her favorite as a bonus. She felt good for the first time in her life.

Marc and Alana plotted how they would check on Anat. They don’t even know if she was the delivery person. But the odds of a random coincidence are too high for Anat to deliver groceries to Alana’s aunt.

Anat went home and logged onto her office computer. She chatted with a few coworkers and asked how they were. They were shocked. No one ever talked to Anat. She just emailed in her work. Occasionally, she did a presentation online. That was about it. They were shocked out how chic she looked. None of those people knew about dried fruit antics and the wars she raged. They didn’t even know she went to camp. A few of them did. Every time they made chit chat about their times in summer camp Anat kept quiet.

Marc and Alana knew Matilda’s next delivery was this coming Friday. Probably around 10:00 a.m. They wondered if they could go out? They were not typical humans.   Did their powers make them not susceptible to Covid-19? They were not sure if they were willing to chance it. But they had their craziness so they just might.
