“Is this Gloria Smith the same girl from your class, who migrated to England?” “The face looks familiar, but yet, I’m not sure.” “The red hair are as you described it.” “Well, colours of memory changed with the advent of hair colour. Eyes and hair all look contrived now.” https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2021/02/25/tale-weaver-316-25-february-the-red-hair-girl/

Mystery of the Bald Man

"It is a nuclear plant for god sake... Why would any one go in there so exposed? Scientists take time to dress on protective gear before going in."
