Repose

Hi, I know it's really late.

Early?

To message you, but I thought of a book you might like to try.

Winter's Tale.

That's all.

[Holly is added separately a bit later.]

Hi. Do you have a moment?

[Theodore Chambers]

Odd question for you.

[On Monday, the puddles appeared.

Throughout town, puddles of water began to appear with no rhyme or reason to their source. Large, dirty puddles, stinking of lake water, soaking into carpet and spreading out over tile. Not everywhere is so lucky to be assaulted by the spread of the water, though. No, it seems limited to certain locales. The Bed & Breakfast. The library. Vade Mecum. Several of the mansions that border the lake. The carnival.

Wet, cold, and seemingly impossible to mop up. No sooner is the water cleared that it appears again.

It lasts through the week, and by Saturday, the puddles seem to dry up for good.]

Does anyone know how (or know someone else who can) to find a person in another city? I only have info from a few years ago and I don't know what they've been doing since. Or if they're still alive. Could use some help or a recommendation.

I have to admit that I've never lived in a town quite as special as this one.

It certainly keeps one on their toes.

[Backdated to right around Christmas.]

you got me animasl!
