A Tale of Two Tragedies Read online

  “Thank you, my dear friend. Your understanding helps more than you know. I am glad to have finally been able to tell you. Believe it or not, it makes it easier to bear.”

  —It was my honor.

  Turning back to the planet she said, “It’s almost time. Things are going to get interesting quick. Are you ready to keep up?”
