Eat and Get Gas & The Honey Tree

- Eat and Get Gas (1): She knew that everyone who asked the question actually meant well. At least that was what she told herself, as she gazed into the interworkings of a motorized delivery wagon owned by the United States Postal Service. On a good day, the breakdown would occur close to her place of business...otherwise, it must be hauled in behind a pair of patient mules. She hoped today was a good day.

- The Honey Tree (2): Cows can be kept in a pasture and hogs kept in a pen, but the bee is a free spirit...a child of the wind. A whole family of them can just pack up and be gone in an hour. To the human presuming to control them, they're a barrel full of exasperation and a lifetime of effort. Add that frustration to the loss of the person who held her heart in his hands, and the devastation was overwhelming. Victoria Spencer could have written a book about the next years, and she might just do that yet.
