The Spirit Of Verona - Page 36

THE SPIRIT OF VERONA
Author: E. Verna Turner
Page 36

The teens and children didn't wait for Loren to come out from the cave they hurriedly informed the elders of their find. They were screaming with excitement and thrilled to tell their story but what is fascinating about the headline is alarming including the date it was published.

"This couldn't be happening. This is not real." Olivia blurted out.

Everyone looked at the newspapers. They have copies of the news in Variety, Herald, New York Times, different magazines from different countries featuring the scope and scoop of the war in Italy. Then the news about the Death March. After the Mussolinis were deposed in 1943, the war World War II started. The Monarchy was abolished in Italy and then they keep an eye on the date of publication of that news which is Year 1960. All the news published in the newspapers are old.

"This can't be true!! Grandma said. We are only here at the island for about five years.

"Yeah, I think the news are surreal!" "It's impossible that the order of things gets complicated." Bianca said in a low tone voice. Not trying to argue. She was tired and sleepy from the night's vigil listening to the radio.

Jenna arrived at the group's circle only to find out that Loren's missing. She asked the girls and the boys who went inside the cave.

"What?! You went to the cave?" Grandpa yelled at them and scold them for their disobedience. "I told you not to there and you all disobeyed me."

Jenna started crying. The elders were nervous and trembling. Juanita and Elmo gripped with anxiety and about to cry . Elmo asked the men to go with him inside the cave to find his one and only son. Grandma Olivia told the girls to stay with her while they pray inside the chapel. Hours have passed by and no Loren and the men who went inside the cave to search for him haven't come back yet.

Amelia and Stephano and their children Joseph and Melinda cooked and served food at the table. They knew today was the longest day ever. The waiting game...

  1. You know what's the pitfall for writing a series of novel thr. the net? Just like old days when some illegals will leak the whole stories to others and make their own story of their own. Trying to compete like they are ahead of the story and make them the VIDA but it only made them CONTRAVIDA! Like saying the story is slow. Dude and dudette my net novela is a day to day strategy if you want to compete go ahead and make your life happier but I wont make you sleep. You can run but you can't hide. lol
