Run Faster

And now, a tale well calculated to keep you in... Soft Spence. In a moment, Act 1 of Run Taster, written especially for suspense by Lois Landauer. Ingredients for happiness. Still want things that are wrong.

For a whole time I was in the hospital after flying in Korea. I kept telling myself how wonderful it'd be when... Chris and I got married. Little White House, simple, happy life. I got my discharge and we had the house and the simple life.

Too simple. The rain station where I got a job was on a small emergency landing field. So I was supposed to double on tower work for emergency landings. Home of it weren't any. Bill, my relief man, and my brother, Dink, lived with us.

Dink didn't know beans about flying, but he got the same charge I did just being around. He was over at the field the night the big bog moved in. Chris was fixing a supper I took on the midnight shift.

Do you think two sandwiches will be enough? Sure. I better put in a piece of cake, you didn't eat much dinner. No sandwiches will be enough. Well I'll just put it in. You can't tell you might get hungry.

The sandwiches are enough. What's the matter, darling? Nothing's the matter. Is it the fog? What's the fog got to do with me? I don't know. You just get it back so funny every time the weather's like this.

Wait, wait, wait a minute. What's the matter? Hold it, hold it. What's the plan, do you? I thought he was in trouble for a minute. Oh, Bill's on duty. He'd take care. Yeah, Bill always gets him.
