Loralai worried. She obsessed about details. Worry made her good at her job. Her job required precise planning, contingency plans, escape clauses and backdoors. One miscalculation could spoil everything.
Cold fingers hugged the warm coffee cup as Loralai punched her mental checklist. The snow shovel and the spade were clean and dry. The spade returned to the utility shed and the snow shovel leaned next to her new red snow boots. Her old snow boots and coat were cleaned and donated to a homeless shelter.
As the snow piled higher Loralai relaxed and smiled.
They would never find the body.

😉 No snow here in the Pacific Northwest, USA — we’ve had lots of glorious sun {though today is overcast and drizzly}. Our usual ‘winter’ is overcast and drizzle, temperatures in the 40’s, for about 9 months of the year 😉 But the summer….wow!
