Things had rapidly gotten worst in New York since Tina last spoke to Bette.  They were now using the word Pandemic regularly in the News. She was busy trying to keep things together for the studio, but things […]

Throughout the morning, Bette thought about the situation with Alice.  She usually could sense when Alice needed help, but lately she had to admit she had not been paying attention.  Bette had attempted to c […]
