Quick Update - Future

Hello Dear Readers,

Part 1

I didn’t think I’d have new information about that contents of the almanac so soon.  But I do!  Most unexpectedly I got an email from Jan March!  Apparently, it is that time of the month!  Hooray for menstrual cycles!  She says that she still isn’t sure about sharing her journals with me but that she had a vision with pressing information.  This vision filled her such a sense of dread and foreboding that she contacted me as soon as she woke up!

            Her vision was about the destruction of Kevin’s Crossing!  In it, she saw the town underwater with torrential rain.  Then everything began to shake and the ground split open and more water came out!  In water dark shaped could be seen swimming out of the cracks in the earth.  She didn’t know what they were, but she said she could feel their hostile intent.

            This dream/vision mirrors the events in the 1887 Newton Almanac so closely as to make me extremely nervous.  While disastrous and chaos is always an exciting opportunity, I fear for the fate of my adopted hometown.

Part 2

Also, of note, I bumped into Officer Eric and his partner, at the Steaming Mugs.  I was very excited, though his partner still only talks to me in an official capacity, I know I am growing on her!  Unfortunately, Officer Eric was looking worse for wear.  His complexion was sallow, and he had bags under his eyes.  He took me aside for a moment to talk.  In his hand, he held a black coffee.  I was eating a scone.  He told me that nothing bad had happened yet after his visit from the Pale Sandwich Man.  While I thought this was a reason to celebrate.  He felt something bad was still on the horizon.  That the waiting for the event had caused him to lose any sleep and his appetite.  I squeezed his arm to try to reassure him.  It didn’t seem help.  He said he was on patrol and had to leave.  On their way out the door, his partner gave me a concerned.  I must admit that I was concerned as well.  Officer Eric must have good intuition, being a police officer, and if he thinks something bad is going to happen, then it probably is.

            Could this bad thing be the joint flood/earthquake that Jan March saw?  Are the Tribe Below going to try to overtake or destroy the city?  My concern for Kevin's Crossing deepens with this new information.  But what can I do?  How does everyone feel about me coining the term ‘florthquake’?

            I took this opportunity to inquire if Officer Eric had any knowledge of Treakle St.  Being a seasoned law enforcement official, I assumed he must know something.  He said that he was familiar with the legend and the police department received a few crank calls a year from someone asking for police assistance on Treakle St.  Oddly the calls always come from an untraceable phone.  Officer Eric dismissed these, pointing out that they always receive several calls from Jak-Jak each month as well.

I’ll keep you update!

FUN FACT

            The people of Kevin’s Crossing refer to themselves as K-Crossers.  DO not, on any circumstances, refer to them as Newtonians!
