“This Lucy Sunshine from WBNG News, Binghamton, New York’s
finger on the pulse of the Southern Tier. I’m coming to you today from
Mudville where one local shop owner has a shocking tale to tell.
“Here with me now is Natalie Chase, owner of Once Upon a Vine, the
book and wine shop behind us. But opening the store is not Ms. Chase’s
claim to fame. That stems from a recent event that will really spark your
interest. Please, Ms. Chase, can you tell us about it?”

Thrusting the microphone in front of Natalie’s mouth, the dark-haired
woman waited expectantly.
The reporter’s smile remained large, frozen in time, as the seconds of
silence ticked by. Lucy Sunshine finally shifted her gaze from the camera
lens to Natalie, also frozen where she stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the
reporter.
“Ms. Chase?”
Next to her, Once Upon a Vine’s part-time employee Jules—short for
Julia— stomped on Natalie’s foot while smiling for the camera.
That was enough to yank Natalie’s attention away from the large—as in
large—crowd of people circling her as her mind turned to the pain in her
foot.
But still she couldn’t help wondering. Were there even this many people
living in this town? Was Lucy Sunshine so famous her fans had flocked
here to see her? Maybe WBNG had bussed them in for the shot.
“Can you tell us what happened to you on that electrifying night last
week?” the reporter repeated her question with her ever-present smile in
place and her eyes on the camera lens.
“Uh…” That was all Natalie managed.
She probably looked like a deer in headlights as she too stared at the
camera lens while trying to ignore the hoards that seemed to be closing in
on her.
The crowd pressed closer, but Lucy Sunshine’s smile didn’t waver as
she continued, “Two nights ago, during the storm predicted so accurately by
our own precision weather forecaster Stormy Jones, you exited your shop
and then what happened?”
The reporter had stopped talking again.
Panicked, Natalie shot her a sideways glance. Had there been a question
in there? Oh, right. What happened. What had happened?
“Um…”
“Didn’t you, while you were outside of your shop in an attempt to
rescue your cat and dog from the storm, sustain a severe electrocution when
a downed power line hit the puddle you’d stepped in?”
“Not my cat. Or my dog,” she managed, realizing she was sounding like
a crazy cat lady on TV.
Ignoring the mumbled comment, Lucy Sunshine forged ahead
undaunted. “And according to the first-hand account of your employee, you
were technically dead for approximately three and a half minutes. In fact,
she reported to rescue workers upon their arrival that it was only the efforts
of Doctor William Walsh, who had seen the incident occur and performed
CPR to restart your heart, that enables you to be standing here with us
today.”
