Story, Part 20

It would be nice to end a story with a wedding, especially one which started with a wedding. But, this is not a Jane Austen novel, and the last two characters did not fall in love.

Mark Levi's fabulous Holocaust Museum not only was a great success, an architectural masterpiece, but earned him enough money to finish, neatly, his mass kit project. Carole and her great staff took a little over a year to finish the sewing of the linens and bags. The effort was nothing less than miraculous. 40,000 mass kits flew about the clerical world in North America (including Canada). The faithful could be nourished with the Body and Blood of Christ. Mark rewarded Carole generously. She was not sure what to do when it was all finished, and she did not want to go back to a DaisyChain revisited. Her little factory closed, and all the workers dispersed. James had left her the condo, which she sold for a nice profit, even in a depressed real estate market. Finally, after sitting about and petting Tomas for a few days before the sale of the condo went through, Carole decided what to do.

In February of 2017, Carole drove up to the large wooden doors of the Josephinum. She had two old embroidered bags, her favorites. Tomas was asleep in one. The other held a few embroidery things, her statue of Our Lady of Fatima, and a few clothes. She was let in and a priest came to meet her.

"May I help you, my dear?" Carole asked if Mrs. Collins was in. "Of course, let me find her for you."

The priest walked away and within minutes, Carole saw him returning with Anabelle and her little boy.

"Anabelle, would you and David like a roommate?"



The End.....
