July 17th, 2068 Evening near Eldorado, Kansas

As she listened to her aunt's play by play of what was happening to their mutual neighbor Mabel, Heather saw a tumbleweed out on the drive. The southwest winds batted and kicked the crispy yellow plant until it bounced against the fence.

"Heather? Ah have to go! I need to call Ruby 'bout this! Shoot, I may as well just invite her over for coffee!"

"Aunt Jenny, wait just a min--" The dial tone replaced Jenny's voice and Heather could only roll her eyes, and turn to walk back into the house once more. "Aunt Jenny has to be the biggest gossip in the county! She can spread news faster than Ned Cook ever dreamed of!"

Stepping inside, she walked into the living room of her three bedroom house, sighing with relief as she felt the cool air surrounding her. In the corner of the room sat her favorite recliner with a HDTV remote control built into the right arm. Sitting down into it, she tapped the keys, causing the plasma television that hung on the wall across from the chair to spring to life, set to give a dual screen. The image on the left hand side gave constant weather reports and satellite images of the skies from the California Rockies to the Great Lakes with Kansas as the central picture. A cold front slowly made its way across with thunderstorms lining the edge as cool air mixed with the warm. "With the heat index like it is in the plains, the sky is just going to boil like a witch's cauldron."

Meanwhile, on the right hand side of the screen, her favorite news channel ran a continuous, twenty-four hour broadcast covering both local, state and world news. David Smith began his broadcast with a worried expression. "This is WKRT TV 23. David Smith reporting. Repeating our latest breaking news, it has been reported that the luxury aircraft belonging to the King of Thailand, Bhumibol Adulyadej III, has disappeared from Malaysian radar after the king and his wife paid a visit to Canberra, Australia. This area which you see here on the map are places where air traffic controllers have lost several planes and authorities are at a loss to explain the aircraft's disappearances. The natives call this area 'Lorong pada Maut' or 'The Path to Death' and is similar to the Bermuda Triangle. It is suspected and almost certain that a call has gone out for International Rescue. In the US today, forest fires continue to rage in Arizona-- "

The phone rang on the small table sitting next to her chair. Picking up the receiver, Heather immediately crossed herself as she answered. "Hi Mother."

"Heather, I was just talking to Mrs. Wilson. You know her? She's a distant relation to the former President?"

"Oh, that Mrs. Wilson," Heather answered. "How is she doing? I know she's taken a bit of a beating in the press with Johnathon's girlfriend--"

"Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about, you know. Johnathon's free now and he's been asking about you--"

"Oh, is he? How nice," Heather replied politely.

"I told them both that you were planning on coming home--"

"Then I'm afraid they will both be disappointed, Mother."

"Have you heard from Jeff Tracy yet?"

"No, I haven't, Mother, but I'm going to sit tight and keep my day job until I do," Heather said firmly, while adjusting her feet up on the foot rest. I need a drink...no. I need a long vacation! she thought to herself. Somewhere tropical. Blue waters, palm trees swaying in the breeze. Prance around in nothing but seashells! That thought had her laughing.

"Heather, really, I don't think it's at all funny! If you'd simply had accepted his marriage proposal, he would never have gotten into that mess--"

"Mother, that man has got a vicious temper on him. I want nothing to do with the creep!"

"Heather!"

"It's true! He tried it with me once! He got the surprise of his life! There isn't a man who's got enough prestige for me to marry him. I'm really tired, Mother. I've got to go. Bye!" she said hurriedly, hanging up the phone. She looked back to the screen. Realtime footage of the Arizona fires had taken the place of the Thai king's disappearance. Her thoughts went to the victims. "C'mon International Rescue! Where are you? If anyone survives at all it will be a miracle! That region is a terrible place to crash in."

98% pure evil...and loving every minute of it.
