Marc thinks about a new path

Anat was ready for Jerry’s party. It was in three days. A small group would be attending. She still wondered if she should call her parents. They probably have no clue they are grandparents. She wasn’t sure they should have the glory of knowing.

Marc watched Star Wars: A New Hope for the millionth time. When not watching he was listening to Bauhaus. He was quite obsessed with Grand Moff Tarkin’s destruction of Alderaan. He marveled at the power of the Death Star. He wondered if he, Alana and Anat have or could have such a power. Or could they create it? He would use it for good. But there is a place he’d like to test it on. He sees no good in that spot. He thought on. He planned on discussing this Alana.

Alana was hanging with Tzipora and her new daughter at Riverside Park. Shira was a few months old and adorable. Alana held her. She took her earpods and made the kid listen to the Smiths. Figured she’d break her in early.

All was well. All over a sudden glass started flying the ladies and baby. Alana quickly texted Anat and Marc. She told Tzipora to run home. The park was busy. But empty in comparison to pre-COVID-19 times.

Alana turned off her music and carefully watched and listened. She saw a hairy apish looking man in the distance. She wasn’t sure if that was Jay or a homeless person. He raised his hands and fired glass at her. She ducked and responded with a dozen apples. A few gallons of wine followed. She nailed him in the head with two of the apples. He started to slide in the wine wet mud on the ground of the garden. She quickly checked her iPhone. The other two didn’t respond. She figured they didn’t see the text or were on their way. She was prepared to take on Jay alone.

Jay hit the ground. Alana called the police and gave a very detailed description of what Jay was doing and where he was. The 911 operators were told to be on the lookout for calls about him. She fired away while racing over to him. She planted a few more apples in his head. She heard the sirens and saw the officers getting closer. She ran to her car.
