Why I was brought in to solve a mystery of people getting and staying healthy was a bit curious on its own.
They were all terminally ill. And in quarantine. Yet one nurse and her student "angels of death" had been able to reverse this deadly disease that modern "medicine' had created through their own negligence.
Most of the big city hospitals had these outbreaks, and had sent their worst cases out to live their lives in suburban hospices - often...

I had been in that stone wall for decades, alone on purpose.
Not lonely.
Waiting.
Humankind needed to evolve past what they had done to create me. I was willing to wait - as long as it took.

Hoops and petticoats I couldn't reach under to get free of.
Someone was going to pay for this.
That little Sue Reginald was the last person...
