*****Lasherette sighed as she looked out the bay window of her bedroom, which over looked the forest, and down to towne. She had tried a few times to make friends, but seemed some people had spread lies, and tales about her. So, she retreated to her abode, she was too intelligent, beautiful, fun spirited. She found them garish, conceited and pompous.

That was just SOME of the men. The women...most don't even deserve her attention at all. It's always been that way. Playing catty games, afraid she was after their man....please. Although there were those she never met....and those that she did, who were kind to her and she responded the same. Generally she tried to just avoid them, and their mindless banter.

Lasherette, obviously caught something from being in towne. The Dr. said she must remain in bed...and take the meds....at first it was horrible, this unforgiving cough...and how her body ached...and how any sound sounded like a cannon blast.

She was improving. She'd written some letters to some important people as she recovered, and has yet to be answered. But...she didnt expect they would respond quickly. As they are important people, with important things to do.

Confined to her room...she had time to think alot. At night the meds. made her dream alot. Lash was going to have to try something new, if she wished to have any friends. Just what that would be.....she did not know.

Time tells all......********
