December & early January

A few notes:
Yes. We had a brief run-in. A blocked number called Vin's cell and mumbled something about "keeping Mittens warm."

Mittens was Vince's family cat and had passed away a few years ago (six). The call ticked us off so we checked out the spot behind Vin's house, just into the woods, where they had buried the cat.
As you can see, we found some somewhat-fresh blood, obviously not belonging to the previously buried cat. It's grave was tarnished; we returned the next morning to fix it.

(And no, Evan did not charge this time. However, we all spent that weekend with flu-like symptoms.)

We also later confronted Stephanie about the saved message on her phone. She was going to tell us. I can understand why she was afraid to mention it.

In my eyes, it's simply closure.

Happy new year, whatever that means. Hell, we're still breathing and mostly smiling. -Jeff
