Round Robin
“Her park had been saved. The glow of physical comfort and psychological relief lasted only until she remembered the price at which they had been purchased. Had the giant already moved in?
She’d given him the keys he’d need before he’d left yesterday.
She started to swing her feet out of bed to go find out, but she stopped. She flipped back the covers and looked at her injured ankle. It was tightly wrapped in an elastic bandage. The giant — then she remembered his name — Manfred had done it for ...her. He’d gotten the bandage from his car, an ancient but well kept diesel Mercedes.
