Shotgun Nanny
“Then she outlined the word in ballpoint until she’d almost carved through to the picture side of the postcard.
She paused, took a sip of cappuccino, then tapped the pen on the blank space on the postcard. Underneath Help she wrote Matter of life and death! Follow me. She underlined Follow me with a dramatic slash of black ink. And, just like that, started to feel better. Action and movement always made her feel better, and as soon as her best friend, Bobbie, received the card, they’d be on ...their way.
She flipped the card over and discovered the aerial view of Vancouver harbor was marred by the thick ridges her pen had carved. With a sigh, she tossed the card onto the table—Bobbie would think she’d completely lost it. Which might be true.
She picked up a second postcard and made a more conventional start.
Dear Bobbie. Follow me to Vancouver. I need a vacation! Fly up TODAY. Matter of life and death—Gertrude’s.MoreLess
